My travelling companion decided to whisk me away to the enjoyably dry surrounds of New Mexico. As well as enjoying the view from the car, we hiked around Bandelier National Monument, former home of 700 people in the 1300s or thereabouts. They were a sensible bunch, living in their own burrows carved out from the tuff cliffs... you can see a few behind me, as I relax with some well-earned water. I understood why people had discovered the benefits of cliff-dwelling after a few moments of walking in the heat.. hot work, I tell you, hot work for a creature of my usually nocturnal habits.
