Loop Tour Chaco

More Chaco

Visiting Chaco Canyon. 
We rented a car to do the dirt access road to Chaco. From the moment you see it, you can feel an overwhelming peaceful energy.
Once there, the visitor center has a beautiful film featuring many pueblo and Dineh people as well as the historic and scientific views.

Then there is the loop, paved road that loops around the remaining structures. Here you can take in the energy, the architecture that has constant relationship to its environment, windows to the heavens, windows to the land, doorways in succession that mirror back on themselves, and this helps give you a minute speck of a large place 
arranged honoring the spiritual beliefs and their importance in daily life of the people who came or lived here. In the film, the pueblo people mention they come to Chaco as a retreat a place to regroup.

Visiting Santa Fe Plaza on Sunday March 25th. It was a beautiful sunny spring day! We had lunch with a Plaza vendor, visited the Native American Market, walked around town.Various musical groups came to play in the Plaza center. A Spanish style guitar with soulful singing drew large applause from the onlookers.

Sunday March 25 we visited Santa Fe Plaza on a beautiful sunny spring afternoon. We had lunch and listened to various musical groups. One of them included a Spanish guitar with soulful singing that drew huge cheers from the onlookers. We went to the Native American market and visited with some old friends. Then took a stroll around town to look in the galleries and at the murals.
I also found some bizcotitos at the bakery. Yummy.
