Home now. Here are a few photos of the last days of our trip. * On the 14th we visited the cathedral in Santa Fe and lit a candle for my mother on her birthday. *The next day we visited Valle Grande and the caldera. This is an area that is known for it's supervolcano, that formed 1.25 million years ago during a catastrophic eruption. It's a stunning area. This is the place my ancestral grandmothers (Jemez) came from, before they migrated to Chihuahua, MX. We are planning on making this a yearly trip and bringing our kids and my sister, as a way to honor our ancestral grandmothers. *Our next and last stop before heading home was Jemez, NM where we visited the Jemez Historic Site. About 700 years ago, the ancestors of present day people of Jemez Pueblo (Walatowa), built a pueblo in this canyon and called it Giusewa. After the Spanish came, the Franciscan missionaries designed a church and priests quarters. The church and surrounding buildings were built between 1621 - 1625 and was named San Jose de los Jemez. The church was abandoned by 1640 and the pueblo of Giusewa was abandoned during the Pueblo Revolt in 1680. The 7 acre site was excavated in 1921 and 1922.

Thank you Bill. I love our little valley and think it's beautiful, but it's always nice visiting different parts of our state.

Bear, I thought I had replied to you here, but I don't see it now. I think my mother removed my comment. 😒😉😄
What I wrote was that I could have been better, especially when I was growing up. My mother was a single mom and I didn't make her job any easier. I'm pretty sure I was the reason for the Nice N Easy hair dye sitting in the bathroom cabinet during my teenage years. 🙃

Thank you Gib. ❤ It turned out to be a very special and meaningful trip. We hadn't planned on going anywhere else except Santa Fe, so I am so glad we added a visit to Jemez on our way home.
