May 20-21 Santa Fe, Bandelier NM, Science Museum





On Thursday we went to downtown Santa Fe. Lots of adobe buildings and shopping opportunities plus art galleries. Friday we went to Bandelier National Monument and hiked to see Indian ruins set among the cliffs. They are very impressive. There are many ladders to climb and caves to enter. An extra half mile from the main trail is a kiva set high in the side of the cliff. You climb to it and can enter the kiva. One of the attached pictures is taken at that site. Then we went to Los Alamos and toured the Bradbury Science Museum. It tells about the Manhattan project days, both the human and the scientific side. Also much space devoted today's work at the national lab. A very impressive museum. And great mountain scenery to drive through to get to both places.
