So it turns out that we live in a mecca of ancient native american ruins. We live within 1 to 2 hours of; Mesa Verde, Salmon Ruins, Chaco Canyon, and Aztec Ruins. Although we have not yet made it to the big one, Mesa Verde, yet; we did make it to Aztec. It was really awesome. It was where the ancient Pueblo Indians lived back in around the 11th century. Very cool and highly recommended! Our next trip is to go to Taos, New Mexico. The Pueblo there is over 1000 years old and amazingly still inhabited. Some of the people living there still live traditionally without water or electricity. You are able to tour it and see how they live first hand. Living here is pretty cool, because there is so much culture and history from both Native Americans and Spain, that sometimes it feels like another country!
