Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Salinas Pueblo Missions - Quarai
Looking down this small valley, past the rubble mounds that were Indian pueblos, beyond the abandoned Spanish mission, across pastures that were fertile fields, one looks at the broad Estancia Valley. Quarai was one of many villages in this part of the Spanish Empire known as the Salinas Jurisdiction. Though located on a remote frontier, Quarai participated in the meeting between the expanding European culture and the far different Indian tradition.
In this valley, lie the abandoned remains of the first attempt to blend those two cultures.
Quarai was on the southeastern fringe of the Tiwa-speaking Indians who migrated through mountain canyon trails from the area of present-day Albuquerque before AD 1300. They established settlements along the eastern slope of the Manzano Mountains at Chilili, Tajique and here at Quarai. They farmed, gathered salt at the nearby saline lakes, and took advantage of their location between the Rio Grande pueblos and the Plains Indians to become traders. This hill is actually the remains of a large masonry pueblo from the 1600s.

I took a break from work and ended up on a road I've never been on before. I started off in Tijeras, went through Escobosa, Chilili, Tajique, Torron, Manzanos, Mountainair and then back up towards Albuquerque through Belden.
The more I learn about the history of New Mexico I can't help but be reminded of parallel history Native Americans have had to the Jewish people.
I really wish I got started earlier so I could have made more stops along the way. I know I'll have to go back and explore the Manzano Mountain range more often.

Salinas Pueblo Missions: Gran Quivira Ruins
New Mexico 17 ~ Gran Quivira Pueblo and Churches, Largest Salinas Pueblo
Join us as we walk through the third of the Pueblos that we visited in the Salinas Pueblo National Monument: Gran Quivira. The is the largest in this group and is also unusual because it’s made with white rock instead of red like all of the others. It’s amazing to imagine what it must have been like to live there. Though it had to have been a tough desert life, they also had those amazing desert views.
Join us next time as we drive up the steepest mountain road that I remember with sheer drop-offs, and with the reward of a spectacular view from the campground at the top as well as much cooler temperatures! Thank you so much for hiking with us!
