Desert beauty, kayaking, and Cormorant trees!

Here are a few pics of Day 2 @ Ghost Ranch!

We got to kayak and canoe on the Abiquiu Reservoir. Who goes boating in the desert??
Here are some fun photos of our adventure.

Discovery of the day: taking your camera on a canoe ride is not as easy as it might seem...















       This is the shelter/kayak waiting area whose roof we thatched when the youth came in 2014!!
Just like Elton John, it's still standing!!!

Back to work tomorrow...

Oklahoma City National Memorial and beyond!

 Before we stopped for the night, we visited the Oklahoma City National Memorial. Seeing this "holy ground" at night time made a profound impact on all of us. The city was quiet, the reflecting pool like glass, and the gentle breeze cooled us as we wandered among the beautiful tributes to those who lost their lives, as well as those who rescued, survived, and continue to stand for peace. We then left our own messages of love and hope from all of us and all of Westminster.

Taos Pueblo, Rio Grande Gorge, Ranchos de Tao

Image
Saturday, June 29th Today we began with a private tour of the Taos Pueblo, one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the country. The Taos Pueblo, the northern-most of New Mexico’s 19 Pueblos, sits at an elevation of 7200 feet, and was built roughly 1000 years ago. The Taos Indians live without running water and electricity, relying on natural sunlight and kerosene lamps for light.  The youth asked our tour guide a lot of pertinent questions, eager to learn. After touring the Pueblo, we ate lunch at the Rio Grande Gorge. We then traveled to an aquatic center to swim and use shower facilities. In the evening we ate dinner in the town at Old Martina’s. We closed out the evening back at our host church in Santa Fe with a love feast and a small group breakout session.
