AN101/AN243 Cultural Anthropology: Introduction to Cultural and Hispanic Folklore of the Southwest
The view from the mesa was spectacular. The deep and endless blue sky inspired me. I’m still amazed by how big and bright blue the sky is out here. Looking across the plains to the horizon, I felt alive. I can’t imagine what it must be like to live up here and soak in this beauty every …
