Not Much Going On

On Monday we crossed Arizona, going along state route 264 from Second Mesa to Gallup, New Mexico and from there south to Zuni Pueblo.

It was a travel day, so we stopped only a few times, mostly to shop at the famous Hubbell Trading Post, a National Historic site where we shopped last time, and at a local gallery here in Zuni. I find curios and artifacts irresistible, but Sharon is admirably immune to tschotskes, which meant more stuff for me. 

 As a result there were not many images for the day, but it was fascinating to travel down the mesa, across the desert, into pine forest and then to end up in scrub at about 6,200 ft.

I could write an essay about the differences between the Hopi and their Zuni cousins (both are Anasazi). But I’ll leave it to those better qualified.

Tomorrow we will spend with a Zuni guide and I should have more by way of images and stories. In the meantime here are a few random images.

Our lodgings for the two day stay were at The Inn at Halona, an idiosyncratically interesting B&B
