May 8 - Sand dunes





Today we visited the Sand Dunes National Park, in Colorado.
About 170 miles from home, they are the tallest dunes in United States, and a very important park to preserve the natural ecosystem that has worked for thousands of years in the area. Water melts from the snow and flows through the dunes, taking sand in the current. The water slowly deposit the sand far away from the source where it started, and then the strong wind blows it back, shaping those huge dunes.
A beautiful place, where our eyes feel happy to rest for some time.
Ethan and Evelyn crossed the cold water. My mami, Edison and I didn't have courage to get our feet into the water, but we appreciate the beauty of the place.
