| We spent two days in Santa Fe, and fortunately dodged a major hail storm further south. Then two days in Taos, and then over to Bandoleer National Monument and Los Alomos. Click on any photo for a larger view |

| We both love the architecture in Santa Fe and Taos. We spent a rainy afternoon wandering along a street that is full of galleries and studios. | Someday we plan on building an adobe-style wall in front of our Tombstone house to make a private courtyard. Every time I see an interesting wall, or gate, or courtyard I snap a shot to keep for future reference. This was in Santa Fe on the street of galleries. | |||||||||||||||

| The weather cleared up when we got to Taos. This Inn & Bed & Breakfast caught our eye. I also collect photos of interesting colors on Santa Fe style buildings for ideas to use on our house. | ||||||||||||||||
| We visited the Taos Pueblo, the oldest continuously inhabited buildings in the U.S. This is the small mission church in the pueblo. The pueblo buildings are maintained with real adobe: mud and straw, not concrete. Some people still live there with no running water or electricity, but most live just outside the pueblo in conventional homes. | ||||||||||||||||

| Some of the women in the pueblo bake bread in the traditional adobe ovens to sell to tourists. One family makes Indian Tacos and Fry Bread, which we had for luch. Yum! | ||||||||||||||||
| This is one of the two main buildings in the Taos Pueblo. Originally there were no doors or windows on the ground floor. The building was entered via ladders, which could be pulled up for security. | ||||||||||||||||

| From Taos we drove over to Bandoleer National Monument, near Los Alamos. There was a pretty campground in the park where we spent a night. | ||||||||||||||||
