Journal post 9.25.15

We got to our appointment at Palatki Ruins and it was wonderful.  The cliff dwelling of ancients.  Trying to imagine living there – hiking the water up each day – hiking down to tend the fields – just living as a family and clan for a lifetime gives me pause.  Then the rock paintings and the cave that Charles Willard lived in for 2 years while he built his house and developed his orchards.  We had a fine lunch, bought at Giant, and consumed outdoors beside the Chamber of Commerce.  then on to the Rock Chapel – wondrous combination of nature and architecture.  Wayne lit a candle (it’s a Catholic Church).  Final stop was Bell Rock – still no vortex for me, but I met very nice folks in my search.  I am fulfilled and content.
