[@TravelingRobert]

Jonard Shetima Puno Thank you. Next video coming in about a week and it is about Monument Valley.

i can wait very nice

[@AndrewLewer90]

Man, that Milky Way shot....damn, still goose bumps after 10 minutes... (you can probably tell i am a huge space enthusiast) Your voice, the way you talk/express yourself, your ability to present videos, the amount of infos (and perhaps, effort) you put into all of your vids and your trips....man, you make every place worth a visit once in a lifetime. I would like, some day, if it'll be possible (i'm italian) to meet you and share a beer and have a nice talk.... I loved and learned tons of things about american landmarks... and i honestly cannot wait till a video outside of the Us....i will watch them with popcorn and a notebook!

[@TravelingRobert]

Andrea Lumpp Hey Andrea. Thank you for your kind words. Sometimes it is a lot of work but I love doing it. For something outside the US you may have to wait until next year. We are actually seriously considering Italy, where we have never been... so we might actually be able to share that beer after all and get your perspective on your country. Where are you in Italy?

[@AndrewLewer90]

TravelingRobert Northern Italy, Veneto, Verona. Ancient roman city, some sort of Rome in miniature, if you will :) It might be awesome! It'll be great to see a foreign tourist describe my city! I cannot wait to talk about our common passion about trips and travels ! Also it'll be the perfect occasion to test my english before flying to Los Angeles :D Perhaps, i might help you talk to italians, you know, we are not famous for talking english with tourists....

[@Oriskany34Ken]

Great video Robert. I am so happy I stumbled on it. Your "host" voice is pleasant and professional!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thanks!

[@sharonallen6921]

This video includes somethings I've not yet seen that are on my list to visit during my next trip to this area. What a wonderfully done video. I appreciate about your videos, Mr. Robert because you give a dab of history, a small story, something to educate or make me think about what I am seeing. You are never boring! Thank you for sharing your adventures. ~Sherrie in South Carolina

Fábio Marcos Euzébio Thank you!

[@HookLineSinker4343]

We traveled to Colorado but didn't visit these beautiful areas. Great video's, well done Robert!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thanks!

[@bergmanstrook]

Prachtig al die bewaard gebleven geheimen uit de oudheid, het park is prachtig in al zijn schoonheid, dank u wel.

[@TravelingRobert]

I am glad you liked it. It was magnificent.

[@johnbennett9713]

Been looking forward to a new episode. Quality as always!

[@TravelingRobert]

John Bennett Hey thanks!

[@freddyo2k10]

Rob..I like your show!!👍👍

[@vicentamartinez]

I love it

[@ShedCrazyOutdoors]

I can't wait to see this! The summer needs to come faster!

[@TravelingRobert]

+ShedCrazy Outdoors Enjoy Mesa Verde.

[@Crurned]

The tour guide may very well be a part time priest, he sounds like one.

[@TravelingRobert]

dednrurc Yes he does :-)

[@ceceandrea2991]

Wonderful videos! Very helpful!! Im planning on doing the same trip this summer, (but just the opposite way, as I will come from Amarillo TX) going to the 4 corners, then up to Utah, Arch park, Moab .... and then Denver area - Colorado. I am just concerned about the distances and services.., .. about how many miles without services average? (specifically gas stations as my car has a very low miles per gallon ;/ Thanks!!!

[@drizzant23]

I don't see why our Pueblo Indian culture has to be on display like that or this as if its meaningless. These sites should be sacred and shouldn't even be a tourist attraction. Our Pueblo ancestors and their lands deserve more respect.

[@TravelingRobert]

I am actually very glad we are able to learn about such fascinating ancient people.

[@drizzant23]

Well I am glad you enjoyed it and I am not referring to you but to that guide who doesn't understand our culture. Of course there many more sites than this but I hope people will understand these places mean alot to us Pueblo Indians of the Zuni, Hopi, Ohkay Owingeh, Acoma, Laguna, San Illdefonso, San Felipe, Santa Ana, Cochitti, Santa Clara, Nambe, Picuris, Tesque, Jemez, Isleta, Sandia, Zia, Taos, and Tigua Pueblos. This is our ancestors and they were complex and had meaning. Overall hope you enjoyed it.

[@sharonallen6921]

I am sorry you feel your ancestors are being disrespected. I see it that great respect is being shown to your people. Folks are taking time out of their vacation and lives to visit with your people. The park employee in this video pointed out the technology and "smart" way these people improved their lives and were able to live in an environment most of us could not. I saw visitors staying on paths and not trampling the structures - even the children. I heard them asking questions and trying to learn. I saw great respect being given. I am a Native American from the east coast of the US (Beaver Creek, Flat Head and Chickasaw around Aiken County, SC) and when I see people visiting the ancestral lands I am proud and appreciate the respect being shown. Far better people visit and learn of our peoples than stay away and let the memory of our ancestors fade as though they never existed or mattered. I guess it's about perspective. Here (in South Carolina) we are struggling to tell the story of the Native Americans that lived here and their contributions to this area. Our culture and history melted into the white man's history and pretty much has been forgotten, even among some of the natives. Some today are working to bring that history alive again but it is an uphill battle and takes years of research just to prove the significance of 1 person or place. Here, with Cliff Palace people can see how people lived long ago and they can show their respect for your ancestors. I don't think there is any disrespect meant. ~Sherrie in South Carolina

[@BryanJamison]

How long do you recommend allotting to vising Mesa Verde Park?

[@TravelingRobert]

+Bryan Jamison I suppose you can see all the main sights in one day if you starts early, but I would recommend two days if you prefer a more leisurely pace.

[@BryanJamison]

Thanks Robert!

[@larrykraut1182]

Where did they go to releive themselves, and what did they do with the human waste? Where did they get and store their potable water? How did they preserve their food and were they cannibals? What did they do with their deceased?

[@luperamos7307]

If you don't mind me asking, what makes Cuban espresso different from Italian? I always see you drinking Cuban, but there are also Italian brands like Lavazza

[@TravelingRobert]

It is just a sweet espresso, but with Lavazza it just doesn't taste the same.

[@luperamos7307]

@@TravelingRobert Is it normal for Cubans to drink it in the morning? In Italy it's usually drunken during the day, often after a meal.

[@TravelingRobert]

@@luperamos7307 Yes it is

[@brodyhill1449]

Hello and bom dia. Would it be outside the lines to ask what beer you enjoy? Obrigado

[@TravelingRobert]

I usually enjoy IPAs... Funky Buddha, Goose Island, Lagunitas, Dogfish Head, and many more

[@brodyhill1449]

@@TravelingRobert Cool, thanks for indulging me. Great choice of beers! Like Dos Equis Pale Lager, Pacifica, Becks Lager, Tsing Tsing Pale Lager, Sapporo, Fat Tire, Guinness and St. Pauli Girl Pale Lager. You are right, so many to choose from. Cheers and Kampei!!!

[@trbrown3383]

What is the camera you use to shoot your videos?

[@TravelingRobert]

TR Brown Hi, my main camera is a 5-year-old Sony HDR XR-200. It is hard drive based and has very good optical stabilization. The car on dash camera is a GoPro Hero 3 white edition, and occasionally I use my DSLR, a Nikon D5100.

[@aybee63]

They must have been a rather small race of people...otherwise all those 'windows' in the location don't make any sense at all!

[@rajazlegend]

Your presentation is very good :) can't wait for the next video
