Santa Fe - Day 3

What a glorious day.  It is Sue's birthday and the sky is bright blue and the temperature is in the high 50's without any wind.  Today we took a drive to Bandelier National Monument.  This is an one hour drive north of Santa Fe where Ancestral Pueblo People from approx. 10,000 years ago started to gather.  The dwellings were carved into the cliffs.  They also extended out from these cliffs to make adobe housing.  We took a 2 1/2 mile walk up the cliffs and down along the valley.  We saw the dwellings, petroglyphs and amazing wild life.  The pictures of the bears were taken from approx. 20 yards away.
