Heck, it was a cold morning. Breakfast and a trip to the visitor center. Jerry realized that we did not know where the visitor center was and we drove to where we pay fees and Jerry discovered we had shorted the park by two dollars. We did get a map and found the visitors center and corrected our mistake.
There were two Hopi women there giving demonstrations on pottery and jewelry making. I was so impressed with the skill of C??? and ????? I talked to the jewelry maker and she was fascinating. She talked of her work and the work of her husband with pride. She said her husband was better than she but I just couldn’t believe that there was any better than her. Amazing work by both ladies. Jerry told me that the stone used for polishing the clay was pasted down form generation to generation. So was the skill.
Using water for mining.
We first visited the Homolovi II the largest of the sites. I was expecting pottery chars everywhere but only found one going on the path. Jerry suggested walking off the path. We did and starting finding them everywhere. I played my flute.
We went back to the Casita and had a sandwich and went to the Homolovi sit 1 to take evening photos. What a great day.
Tomorrow we are going to the Grand Canyon and are going to hunker down for the winte storm that is heading our way. We have plenty of food and water. Might even go into town for some food. It is
another we will wait and see.
We will be here for a week. I really like this place.
