Monday: Site Work at San Ildefonso Pueblo


Today we are also working at San Ildefonso Pueblo, about twenty minutes south of Espanola. We met with Gilbert Sanchez, an artist and potter at the pueblo. Our group has two project at his site...clearing and constructing a new firing pit and helping to plant the community garden. We also will be working on two other projects there...re-constructing an adobe baking oven and preparing the grounds for a gathering later in the year. Lots of raking, clearing brush and removing debris.

Gilbert started us unloading wood and supplies and showed us the dumpster. Time to get to work...

It was very hot day. Were we crazy being out there in the noonday sun??
