Today we went to another National Park. This time Joel tried to win a badge too. We met this teacher, named Danielle, she was a teacher for 35 years. she made her own house of adobe and told us of a really neat zoo and art museum. she also told us a lot about the Pueblos people and yucca. Yucca roots can also be used as soap for your hair - it makes it really soft.
We even got to go in the Kiva. The Kiva was used for ceremonial worship for the native men. The women only went in there to give food to the men and their sons. Later on we got to see the Festival of Lights. It was really pretty to see it turning dark and all the lights lit up.
At the Visitor Centre we met this funny ranger who gave Rachel some answers to he Junior Ranger Guide, like saying the answer rhymed with adobe, then whispered the answer in her ear. He also taught us the junior ranger's secret handshake. Mom & I are hoping to go back there sometime.
