This morning, we awoke with the sun at 5 AM as has happened
so often on this trip. We did manage to stay in bed until 6 and then got up and
crept around trying not to wake Joyce & Dom. Eventually, we all had a light
breakfast and then sat on their back patio enjoying the views and catching up
on old times. In fact, we spent so much energy catching up, that Joyce had to
make us a second breakfast (or brunch) of egg tortillas! After that, we headed
out for more adventures. We first went to Petroglyph National Park. We spent
some time in the visitor center checking out their exhibits, and then headed
out to walk some of the trails. The number of petroglyphs out there was
amazing. We couldn’t believe how close the housing developments come to the
rocks that they have in the park. I guess that it’s hard to keep the builders
from building where the views are spectacular! After that, we drove out to the
foot of the mountains where there was a cave that we could climb to. I couldn’t
believe that Barbara made it almost to the top. I can understand why she
wouldn’t want to climb the “circular staircase” up to the cave as it was
hanging over a sheer drop! Although the cave was interesting, it was
disappointing that there was some much “trash” in the cave from the tourists
visiting. When we got back to the house, we enjoyed some frozen Margaritas to
“rehydrate” and finished off with Chili, garlic bread and some fresh fruit.
Then it was time to share pictures. But again, this was hard work and we had to
take a break to enjoy some cobbler & ice cream! Eventually, we tore
ourselves away from the pictures to head up to bed.
