El Morro








We had a great time on Saturday driving out to see El Morro. This is a national monument that has inscription in the sandstone from as far back as 1605. There are three groups that wrote on this huge bluff: the Native Americans put petroglyphs, next the Spanish explorers and then people from the east in wagon trains. This was a common stopping place because of the pool of water that was always there. That water looked pretty nasty but I guess it was a place to find water back then.

The girls seems to have a really good time. They took lots of pictures so I've put up a few.

We were really hungry after looking at all the inscriptions. We stopped at The Ancient Way Cafe. Much to Ma'am delight they served real food.

A great day was had by all.
