"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

Im From London

Day Two.
I HATE FOOD NOW. i cant stop eating. and buying jewelry. i dont understand why this is happening. today we woke up and went to the market again in the Plaza. I bought a necklace for my mom, and an ear cuff or myself. All of the jewelry that the artists make are so pretty and unique. From there we met again in the center  of the Plaza, then off to a museum.
The museum we saw was really cool actually. I think it was the best one so far. After that we had lunch at a nice little restaurant on a side street. From there we had more time to shop, but i didnt feel like buying anything else. I saw the coolest dog tho. He was half St. Bernard and half Golden Retriever. He looked like a lion( his name was Leo). There was also a movie being filmed on one of the streets which was pretty cool. There was a cop car hooked up to a bigger truck, and then pulled behind down one of the other streets.
We had to meet again in the center of town, and from there we went to a different museum about 20 minutes away. At this museum we met with a woman who taught us about Navajo weaving. It was really cool to learn about because it was such an incredibly complicated process. Her hair reached her hip too.. i thought it was very pretty.
We went back to the hotel after, then to dinner. Dinner was soooo good. I love guacamole. 
Tomorrow we are of to Taos, then from there to Los Alamos. In Taos, we are meeting some of the people who live there and we are learning about their culture.
