Another day, more adventures

First thing I did today was to go and see the earthship community outside of Taos.  These homes are built with lots of recycled materials and they are off the grid.

Next I went to walk across the bridge that goes across the Rio Grande Gorge, also near Taos.

We decided it was time to head south.  I wanted to find a little store in Chimayo where M'Lin buys her chilie powder.  New Mexico doesn't seem to Mark their roads very well, but with some meandering we finally found it.

This ones for you, M'Lin.

This little store is a part of a little, but famous El Santuario de Chimayo where people go for healings.  It's a quiet, peaceful place and we had our lunch sitting under the trees.

The little church is beautiful inside and there is dirt that people can take from a well like hole and it is said to have healing properties.

A wonderful place to spend a little time before we forge on to Albuquerque and the hustle and bustle of the Hot Air Balloon Festival.
