Madi says: Yesterday we dug some more ditches and I got a little sunburned again. After work we headed to Bandeliers (or Sparta according to Luke) and walked around for a couple of hours. After that we went to Sante Fe and went for dinner at the rooftop pizzeria. Then we had a little ice cream. On the walk back to the cars and the ride home back to Espanola we had a long discussion about movies. It was a really good day except for a little argument about who put a fishy cracker in Evans water bottle.
From Chloe: Well well well, it’s our last morning/day here and I’m both excited and sad. I’m looking forward to finishing the ditch (hopefully) and to start our long journey home. I’m sad to leave the beautiful weather and have to leave this place behind. Along this whole trip, I have had a great time meeting new people and I feel exceptionally fortunate to have spent here. There are a few spots where we have stopped that I have always wanted to visit. For instance, the Grand Canyon, Route 66 and then yesterday we visited Bandelier. It was amazing!! Since having taken Comparative Civilisation and studying the Aztecs, Incas and Maya, I have acquired interest for civilisations that have disappeared. All in all, this trip has been amazing and I would do it again in a heart beat. No regrets!

Good luck on finishing the ditches, and have a safe trip home.

ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteLoved the new photos! Top marks for DitchDuty 101 and A+ for efforts! Dan's message indicated he was exhausted and a tad sore! So...that means you all worked physically very hard! All your families will be very proud. Dedication and seeing a goal through to completion are both rather valuable lessons that will serve you all well in your futures.
Sounds like Sante Fe and Bandelier was great!
Know there will be some sad moments tonight...all the bittersweet of life.
Love to you all...safe travels to bring you home. Remember to bring a wee bit of sunshine along with you...it IS warming up here today, finally!
Happy Spring! rj
The new photos are great, and it sounds like the trip was a great experience for all. Safe travels. Chloe's Dad.
