It really is. And I trust that YOU didn't wear clogs like Crazy Russian Woman.

I thought you were much younger when you went?

And the ladders were not actually too bad. The stairs were worse because they were extremely uneven.

Mesa Verde is the shit. I have never been any place like that, and wow, there's something fantastic and special about it.

I would have loved to get down to Cliff Palace. It was closed when I was there and it looks awesome!

Wow. These are gorgeous. Things this old blow my mind.
We don't have much built history in this country. The country itself is old and people have been here for a very long time but they were nomadic and didn't leave any permanent structures.
