September 11, 2024 - We had an unscheduled stop at Navajo Moenave Dinosaur Tracks located in Navajo Nation. "Dinosaur Bone Joe" showed us the dinosaur fossils including: footprints, a skull, legs and even dinosaur eggs.
"Bring out your inner-child and go pounce and stomp among real dinosaur footprints! You might even want to invite your actual child to come along for this long-awaited, adventure opportunity. Just 70 miles outside of Flagstaff in Tuba City, located in the Navajo Nation, is a place where evidence of dinosaurs can be experienced first-hand. There are no glass exhibits with carefully cut, stone pieces of fossilized footprints; just actual dinosaur tracks all over a section along the bench below Hamblin Ridge.
These dinosaur tracks were formed in the early Jurassic period, approximately 200 million years ago and have been verified by paleontologists from Northern Arizona University. The specific type of dinosaur that left these footprints cannot be determined, therefore these are called "trace fossils". Trace fossils are classified by the shape of the prints and the type and layer of the rock the fossil is found on, which determines its age. With this information, it can be assumed these footprints belonged to the carnivorous dinosaurs Eubrontes, Grallator, Coelophysis kayentakatae or Dilophosaurus wetherilli."

July 11, 2023 - "The Convent of the Capuchos or Cork Convent was established in 1560. It is noteworthy for the extreme poverty of its construction, which represents the ideal of the Order of St Francis of Assisi, and for the extensive use of cork in the protection and decoration of its small spaces.
EBuilt with respect for the harmony between human and divine construction, it is based on nature, inseparable from the vegetation, incorporating enormous granite rocks into the building. It is said that Filipe I of Portugal (II of Spain), after visiting Sintra and the Convent of the Capuchos in 1581, commented that the two places he liked most in all his kingdoms were the Escorial for its wealth and the Convent of the Capuchos for its poverty. “In my Kingdoms, there are two things I have that greatly please me: El Escorial because it is very rich and the ‘Convento de Santa Cruz’ because it is very poor.”
The wood that surrounds it, having survived the gradual deforestation of the Sintra hills, was cared for and maintained for centuries by the friars who lived in the Convent. It therefore constitutes an exceptional example of the primitive forest of the Sintra hills, made up principally of deciduous oaks, with elements of the Mediterranean maquis, such as a great profusion of ferns, mosses, epiphytes and climbing plants, which wrap and cloak everything in a dense tangle of vegetation. Because of its rarity, its state of conservation and the importance of many specimens, this wood represents an important natural asset worth safeguarding" Previous description: visitworldheritage.com/en/eu/convent-of-the-capuchos/8199...
