Northwards to Taos

Today we set out and drove up to Taos, a lovely town. A bit like Santa Fe, centred round a main Plaza but on a much smaller scale. We mooched round at a leisurely pace looking round galleries and lovely shops - as well as visiting the Kit Carson museum, which is in the house where he lived for many years. I then dragged Len round looking for the location of Kit Carson's grave - and we found it eventually.

Here are some photos of the day:

On the road to Taos, this is North of Santa Fe, towards where Kay lives - and the scenery is amazing.

The courtyard at Kit Carson's house - the round oven was used to do most of the cooking in hot weather. And before anyone asks, nope - we aren't having one in the playground!

On the way back we stopped and sat at a lovely viewpoint, that's the Rio Grande which the road runs alongside for miles on end. I was quite happy sitting on a rock looking at the scenery until Len wickedly remarked that we were in 'rattlesnake territory' - I was back in the car before you could say 'knife'!

The rock formation to the left of the picture is known as Camel Rock, just like a camel sitting down :)

I'll skip Tuesdays Tale for this week -but it's a good 'un when I do get round to it.
