After breakfast we hit the road for Santa Fe. The weather is much cooler in the 20's.
Santa Fe is a lovely city, all adobe style buildings, even the fast food joints have to conform to the Pueblo style of building.
In the town square the local Pueblo artists sell their wears mostly jewelry and pottery. And of course there were tourists everywhere.
One interesting place we visited was "Jackalope Furniture" where we seen some prairie dogs.
I seen some prairie dogs as we were driving and thought the were rats or something. So Roger took me to Jackalope's which was a large furniture/outdoors/folk art set of shops. In the middle was a prairie dog mound where I took the above photo.
We went up to Taos to visit a Pueblo village but it was closing. We then drove to the Taos Gorge where I took a pile of photo's.
In the valley there were a number of wide goats.
From the gorge we past an area that I thought was familiar. It was the earth-ship project, I had read and seen these in a number of books when I was researching building our straw-bale house. I was surprised at the number of buildings.
We then drove through the rain and wind into Colorado and finally to Rogers house in Monte Vista.
Not sure what tomorrow will bring as we have been going full out since I got here.
