Montezuma Castle
I went on a road trip! On Thursday, I drove up to Phoenix to meet Mark Terry, which was cool. 
We drove up to Montezuma Castle National Monument.
Montezuma Castle looks tiny here, but it’s really five stories high. It was phenomenal to see in person.
The cutaway, scaled model helps give some perspective.
I saw FOUR lizards there! Two in the grass, one on the tree, and one on the sidewalk. I’m fascinated by lizards, since up until now, I’ve only ever seen them in aquariums or museums.
And I met Mark Terry!
Of course, I had to take a shot of a teensy-tiny flower with little fuzzy balls on it:
If you go to the full Montezuma Castle album, you can see better pics of the lizards and more pics of the stuff we saw. I’m pretty sure I set it up so even if you aren’t on Facebook, you can see the photos. Let me know how that works, ‘cause I don’t know.
Are you doing vacation this summer? Where’re you going?
