I finally decided to try Facebook - didn't know I had so many friends there! :)
I still don't appreciate that you have to create a Facebook account in order to see things that people post there, but I guess I can look past that and get in line with modern technology...

Bandelier NM
Yesterday we took a wonderful trip up to Bandelier National Monument to see some cliff dwellings and beautiful scenery. Great suggestion, Kath!

Bob the Cameraman:
In all our travels to date, we haven't seen rocks quite like these! Made from volcanic tuff, it's rather holey and makes for some interesting features (and places to live, apparently):
Which way is up?
Rock faces:
Climbing up to Alcove House:
We did it!
Local fauna:
Another beautiful day in New Mexico:

Santa Fe days
We're in Santa Fe with our friends Kathy and Bob for a week - what fun! They decided on a whim to come travel with us on their way to Las Vegas, and we're really glad they did.
The theme of this post is "Public Art in Santa Fe".
This may or may not fit your definition of art, but it made us laugh:
Back to school:
We interrupt this Public Art broadcast for a group bongo drum lesson at the Santa Fe 400-year anniversary festival - fun!!
OK, back to the "weird" stuff:
Fish stick (tm Kathy) - actually in Los Alamos:
Seret and Sons warehouse - amazing (and huge) set of intricate and interesting doors, walls, columns, facades, and other random salvaged stuff from all over the world - John and Bob might have stayed all day if we hadn't pulled them away:
Burro mural on the wall... (tm me and Bob)
Typical Santa Fe adobe (this one happens to be the Santa Fe Art Museum):
An awesome meal with friends!

Scenes from Vegas
We're having fun in Las Vegas with Danny! Also getting some scouting done for an urban race in November. And starting our heat acclimation... it's about time!
Our nice room at the Palazzo (thanks Danny!):
Messing with Whoopie at Madame Toussaud's:
Homer and Bart:
The penny machine from last year's GUR race:
What color M&M do you want?
Siren cycle at Treasure Island:
Hanging out in a REVOLUTION:
A neat spiral escalator in the Forum Shops:
Playing around at FAO Shwarz:
Mushroom fountain in Bellagio:
Time for dinner... see ya later!

Great Sand Dunes NP
On our way south on Monday, we made a slight detour to the Great Sand Dunes National Park. It was beautiful and very quiet and peaceful. We went hiking in the nearby hills on Monday afternoon.
View of the dunes from an overlook:
Tuesday morning we "took to the dunes" to play around. Animal tracks in the morning sand:
It get a bit windy sometimes!
I love the little flowers growing where it seems nothing should survive:
It wasn't exactly easy climbing up the steep sand - but worth it for the close-up views:
Nearby mountains, including a 14er or two:
John without shoes:
We'd like to come back in the spring and see the river flowing - that sounds like fun too!
