Extractions: You drive back into New Mexico history, along the Ortiz Mountains as the land stretches into breathtaking vistas. Ranches, old mining towns and geological curiosities of all kinds punctuate a drive that is well worth the extra 30 minutes it takes when you forsake I-25. Stop in Madrid and check out the galleries, great stores, and the hippies. Aren't we glad no one bought the town when it was for sale some years back? History whispers in the rough dirt streets and you catch your breath as you gaze out from this mesa across - Acoma's sacred land. Coronado thought he'd found one of the fabled seven cities of gold when he first saw it. "Too bad he was wrong," one mesa top tour guide opined. "We'd be doing things a lot differently up here." Try to see it on one of the feast days that are open to the public, when the main square fills with dancers and the mood is celebration. Be sure to go back down the steep, ancient footpath that for hundreds of years was the only access.

The first public school law was passed in 1891.

Extractions: I had a very busy and exciting summer in 2001! I spent two weeks with teachers from across the country learning about energy. The teachers took a number of field trips, so I got to see so much (from an "ant's-eye view," of course). Here are some of the trip highlights: The National Atomic Museum has great resources and exhibits about the United States' use of nuclear energy for all kinds of things. It is no surprise that the National Atomic Museum is in New Mexico, because this state is also the home of Los Alamos National Laboratory, where the U.S. developed the first nuclear weapon. This museum takes you on a tour through the development of nuclear weapons to today's use of nuclear power - power released from the nucleus of an atom - to generate electricity to heat and cool our homes, make our lamps and home computers work and more. Nuclear power provides many things to the United States and other countries around the world - from nuclear medicine to devices to test bridges for structural integrity - harnessing the power of the atom was one of the biggest discoveries of the last 100 years. The teachers that came here with me really enjoyed the museum. There are planes, rockets, machines and much more on the grounds of the museum. It is located inside the Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Make it a stop on your next vacation!
Extractions: Tsankawi Ruins to Zuni Pueblo " The Pueblo people of New Mexico believe that the earth is imbued with the breath, thoughts, and feelings of every person that has ever placed a foot upon it. They say that the earth is alive with the spirits of those who have walked across its body: the faraway past vibrates in the soil, and the stories of the long-ago people lie scattered like stones upon the places that once harbored them.
