Foregrounding Place

Highway 87 is a long stretch of road just before you enter onto the Hopi reservation. That last little hill which you climb, where the old child center was located, I give a huge sigh because it is there that I feel I am finally home. In the distance you can see the mesa’s that make up the Hopi villages. That little hill always seems like it takes so long to reach it before it gives way to the site which we have waited five hours in the car to see. Once you are over that hill there is still a vast amount of distance that needs to be covered before you reach your final destination. You still have to climb the mesa to get where you are trying to reach.
