The first time I slathered ALCiS on my sore muscles my husband commented that the smell didn't drive him away - a too common event when using the smellier sports creams and ointments that provide temporary relief from overdoing the weekend warrior scene. ALCiS is scented with botanicals, but equals the power of other over-the-counter topical pain relievers that have smelly menthol or camphor.

The wind-stripped landscape that greets you when entering the Pueblo of Acoma lays bare the rugged life of these American Indians since this federally recognized Native Indian Tribe began building adobe dwellings here in 1150 A.D. Take a tour of Sky City, built on a 367-foot-high mesa, and listen as a tribal member talks about the pueblo’s history while you walk the stony streets looking at centuries-old adobe dwellings. To experience a visit to Sky City visit Acoma Pueblo. If you'd rather just look at pictures of this Native American sky-high village visit Images of Acoma Pueblo
