New Spanish Words - Nuevas palabras en español
This is a map of Spain. But I am learning Spanish on Duolingo which uses the Spanish of the Americas. That's a lot of countries. Most of South America except Brazil which speaks Portuguese, which is similar to Spanish.

Mesa Verde National Park
You have to pay a visitor fee to enter the National park but you can buy a permit which lets you visit several areas all over the USA.
Features of the area include the earliest dwellings, pits on the flat-topped mountins. Later they moved down onto the sides of the cliffs, and onto the flat land below. Visually an interesting features if the keyshape doors. If you ever thought that doorways were all oblong, or arched, or with pointed tops (gothic), here's a new idea to add.
