It is his second day in New Mexico (and a cold, snowy one at that), but heedless of the weather little Chimo made an adventure out to Bandelier National Monument today!
The day's day trip began with Chimo's 4000th kilometre!
Arriving at Bandelier (in the snow) Chimo was warned about the potentially icy conditions that may or may not have existed.
Bandelier is where the Ancestral Pueblo of North America lived. Chimo thought it was a rather remarkable place.
In the cold and the snow, Chimo embarked on a hike up the cliff.
From a perch mid-way up the cliffs Chimo could look down on the remains of the Pueblo dwellings below.
There were several caves in the cliffs that could be explored, which Chimo happily did, despite the prevalence of treacherous little ladders.
After a few hours scrambling about in the cold admiring petroglyphs and Pueblo caves, Chimo went for a good ol' New Mexican (plus one bratwurst) lunch.
Ending his educational day at Bandelier National Monument, Chimo returned to the hotel in time to watch Team Canada versus Team USA in Olympic men's hockey- while drinking rum and coke in classic Trailer Park Boys fashion. (Canada's loss was disappointing, but Chimo has faith in his home and native land.)
Tomorrow: Chimo is off to the old town square in Santa Fe to (hopefully) buy the biggest knuckle-buster turquoise ring in the entire state! Good luck, little ookpik!
