A couple of things before I start: tomorrow is my first day of school. I want to finish my vacation summary, so that I don't forget to do it later. I won't take any breaks, I will write my normal "diary" part at the top. After finishing everything I'll go back to the voices series.
On this day, we went to Mesa Verde National Park. Which is famous for its ruins. I think this was a national park that was never a national monument before it became a park. It was created to protect the ruins, and ancient artifacts from being stolen, or damaged. The ruins were mostly adobe bricks, cemented together through a muddy yellow mixture. The old ruins were made about 600 to 1250 years ago from the natives of the time. Over this day and the next, we went to parks and monuments dedicated to protecting the ruins, and because they were in the same area, on day two of the ruins area, when I learned the history of the area, I thought that the history sounded almost exactly the same.
Overall, it wasn't my favorite park in Colorado, but it sure was the one where I didn't complain that the park looked like every other national park in the world.
