Mesa Verde - Laura Ramey


Over the summer I was forunate enough to visit some extraordinary sites. As a family, we traveled to Colorado for our ti-annual Graves Family Reunion. We had a lot of fun and actually went to some amazing places. We went to Mesa Verde, which is this old Indian site where they used to build their homes into the side of the cliffs. (ignore the rest of my family in the picture...) They had special pits where they would hold spiritual ceremonies and other sorts of events. It was amazing to see how it worked. And, referring back to my earlier post, there were books for sale explaining the curses and spells they would cast and book of stories of people who claim to have seen ghosts of the aboriginies from the area.
