Sitting Home

Being sick sucks....it literally sucks the life out of you. Today was my second day in bed nursing myself to health. By about 3 PM I couldn't sit still any longer, so I got up and started doing stuff...I finally set up my printer, I cleaned up my desk, I did some laundry and spend some time with my little monster Sly (he's the cat in my profile picture). Besides that I've been bored.

I did do some research on a place a want to visit in the summer. My two girls are going on a month long road trip across the US, and I can't because I have a job and not enough vacation days to spare. The place I want to go is Mesa Verde in Colorado. Archaeology is a huge part of my life, and the archaeology of the Southwest has been a huge passion of mine since my undergrad years. After all, I am going back to grad school for archaeology.

Mesa Verde is located in the Four Corners region of the Southwest (Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado). This whole area is full of archeological history, as it is full of ruins and beautiful findings that once belongs to America's first citizens. Mesa Verce itself is in the state of Colorado, near the city of Cortez.



Sites like these are scattered within the Four Corners. I can't wait until the girls figure out their road trip route, so I can figure out when where and how to meet them there.
