We head north on Hwy. 550 toward Durango, Colorado after having a green chili burrito at a small cafe. (Wow, hot and delicious)
First stop, The Aztec Ruins (which the Spanish misnamed. This complex was built by the ancestral Pueblo peoples in the late 1000's and was inhabited for 200 years.). They make me reflect on all the peoples that built these settlements through out North, Central, and South America....all aligned in
certain directions and with the solstices. Pretty amazing!!
Next stop, Durango.
And now east......past Chimney Rock
To Pagosa Springs....a town with hot springs as well as winter sports. we have our picnic lunch in a park here.
Heading south-east on Hwy. 64, we drop back into New Mexico......beautiful country and a two lane road with few cars.
Evening arrives as we enter Taos where we find an Inn and I relax in a hot tub before I turn in for the night. Looking forward to tomorrow's adventures!
