Madness in the Desert part 20--Time Passages

After lunch, we had time to tour the visitor center and the site. This park protects an ancient Native American community (from around the 1100s!) There is some deterioration but that enables us to see inside the structures and the great rooms that they contain. Outside the dwellings were ball courts and other ceremonial sites. The rangers are quick to point out that this is not an abandoned village and that our responsibility to it is to preserve and remember the original inhabitants.

Let's start on the right side again! That is an older Fast to Fabulous page that had pre-printed photo mats. I liked that the orange color matched the tones of the dwelling rocks. I was able to use the 2 horizontal mat spaces (sort of) and trimmed another photo to fit in the vertical box. That left me a little room to journal. To create the left side of the layout, I matched the orange print with a half-sheet of printed paper as well as a laser cut strip that JUST fit the space on the bottom right corner.
