"Cage the badger and he will try to break from his prison and regain his native hole. Chain the eagle to the ground - he will strive to gain his freedom, and though he fails, he will lift his head and look up at the sky which is home - and we want to return to our mountains and plains, where we used to plant corn, wheat and beans."


-- Written by a Navajo in 1865

The First Day

My favorite activity so far, was taking the tram to the top of the Sandia Mountains. Once at the top of the mountain the view was absolutely stunning, but it was quite chilly and very windy! The best part of this was also the food! The mexican food we ate at the base of the mountains was delicious and very authentic! Santa Fe is a very cute city. The architecture of the buildings in the city is unique and the Plaza is a very relaxing little square of green where people can walk around, play music, and sit. There are also many Native American artisans that sell their goods (mostly jewelry) in the area around the plaza. I spent a little too much money on many beautiful pieces of jewelry such as a bracelet made out of copper. Overall, the day was very exciting and I really enjoyed exploring new places! Can't wait for tomorrow!
