We went to the Saturday market - it was a cold, cold, cold day, though the skies were blue and there was a lot of sunshine. Hot apple cider was just the perfect solution.

Bandelier:
Then we went to the Bandelier National Monument. This is where the Anasassi people grew crops on the top of the cliff and lived in caves they drilled in to the side of the cliffs. They built elaborate cave systems with rooms dedicated for ligiving space, food storage, weaving cloth etc.

Dinner at La Choza (translates to "The Shack"), and then Dan and Lynette went off to an 80's party while Steph and I (mostly Steph) watched Mateo - got him fed, changed, teeth brushed, books read, snack eaten, and then - bed.
