Today has been a great day, and much needed. Finally, I was able to go down into our canyon, bushwacking my way through the brush to get to some of the ruins on the bottom. Escorted by the park's archeologist I got to learn some new things about the area and was allowed to peer into these structures and really get a feel for them. Saw some old, rusty cans from the 40s rotting away and really neat sherds of pottery. Sorry I should have taken pictures but I didn't.
I really feel that I've finally settled into a routine here, which is good and bad. I've past the half way point and I just can't believe it! Everything is just flying by which means I've been enjoying myself. Still, I wonder whats to come next in my life. Searching for jobs is not my favorite pastime, but a necessary one right now.
In this heat I'm missing the feel of cool grass beneath my bare feet.
And tall shady, trees.
And the color green!
Forth of July was a bit lonely, missing out on all the picnics and friends and fireworks. BUT I know that I will be looking back on this time in the desert with a smile on my face and know now that I'm blessed to be out here. Sometimes though you just need some good friends to share all this with (miss you guys back home!)
