Not to mention the Native Americans' pride for their culture, after all they've been through, facing extinction...
A real drama, this part of history !

Day 42 (D-19) Antelope Canyon

Image
This 10th day of our trip, June 27th is yet another day with lots to do and see.  After Lake Powell and Horseshoe Bend in the morning and lunch in Page, we head to Antelope Canyon for an extraordinary walk inside this canyon.  I'm sure everyone has seen a photo of Antelope Canyon.   I'll give you just one.  No video.  There are so many photos and videos, but I'll give you just this one photo. To whet your appetite . However, I'm looking forward to putting the students' photos on the blog after we return to Grenoble.  But I'll tell you about the second life of this blog later.  😀 Antelope Canyon  is a slot canyon , a narrow canyon formed by the wear of water rushing through the rock .  A slot canyon is significantly deeper than it is wide .

Day 12 (D-49) Spanish Missions in New Mexico / Willa Cather

Image
Day 12 5D-49) Something we won't have time to visit: Spanish Missions. A  Christian mission  is an organized effort to spread  Christianity  to new converts.  The Spanish Missions were established by Franciscan  friars, missionaries, under charter of the Spanish Empire and the government of the Viceroyalty of New Spain with the intention of converting the Native  Americans (Indians) to Christianity.  Those concerned were many of the 21 distinct Puebloan groups: the Tiwa, the Navajo and the Apache. We won't have time to visit one, so I give you here a photo of the San Miguel Mission in Santa Fe. San Miguel Church is sometimes referred to as the oldest church in the USA and is located on Old Santa Fe Trail.  The original church, which had been built of adobe around 1610, was burned during the Pueblo Revolt of 1680.  The current adobe structure was built in 1710.  There have been many renovations through the years.  (...
