We met a couple who, like us, were touring Cliff Palace. I overheard a snippet of conversation that had with the ranger, and realized the man and woman were Hopi – descendants of the Anasazi who built and inhabited Cliff Palace and the other cliff dwellings in the Southwest. The woman graciously posed for her photograph, and later, at my invitation, she and her friend joined us for dinner - another one of the serendipitous moments on the trip.
