Acoma Sky City






Our group of all left for Acoma Sky City at 9:00, for the 9:30 tour. Just in case anyone forgets, it was windy! We all bundled up, kept our mouths shut for the most part, and sucked it up!

Gary, our guide, was excellent and told us all about the pueblo. No running water or electricity and the homes are inherited, mother to youngest daughter.

With our tickets, photography was allowed with the exceptions of the cemetery and church.

The scenery is spectacular from the pueblo, but rather brutal. Their pottery, which was offered for sale by the artists, is widely treasured. Larry's parents bought a small bowl years ago, so we have some at home. They also took pictures, so we'll have to compare them to ours.

Back to the RV Park and casino. I got my players' card and Larry filled up with fuel - enabling us to get discounts on our buffets for dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow morning. Maybe we'll even get lucky at the slots with our $15.00 of free play each.
