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 !

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 18 (D-43) Mesa Verde: A quick armchair visit

Image
Day 18  of our "computer traveling" will start the 6th day (Sunday, June 23rd) of our trip in the American Southwest.   Here are a few pictures of the cliff dwellings we'll be seeing there.  Just look. Or look and read.  You choose. Cliff Palace, at about 150 rooms , is the   largest cliff dwelling in the park. Amazing!   90% of Mesa Verde's cliff dwellings have 10 rooms or less.    Tree-ring dating  indicates that construction and refurbishing of Cliff Palace was continuous approximately from 1190 CE  through 1260  CE .   Cliff Palace was abandoned by 1300 , then   rediscovered in 1888 by Richard Wetherill  and Charlie Mason while they were out looking for stray cattle . Spruce Tree House .  Spruce Tree House is the third largest ( 130 rooms and 8 kivas )   and  best preserved cliff dwelling in the park,  constructed between A.D . 1211 and 1278 by the ancestors of the ...
