Taos Pueblo

Well, sort of. The Taos Pueblo is a 700-year-old settlement continuously inhabited by the Tiwa people, and a National Heritage site. And it's really, really neat. However, they charge extra for cameras and I felt weird about taking photos anyway, since people still live there. Instead, Mom and I walked around, bought some crafts and some fry bread, and talked to people. The Pueblo is like a bunch of adobe apartment buildings, only ancient... though amended with modern things like glass windows and propane tanks. It really reminded us both of places we'd visited in Europe, how you'd have some astounding old building with tricycles in the yard, or a satellite dish. Anyway, I took these photos of: a cool tree-chair in the parking lot, some horses on the way back, and the golden aspens I just cannot get a proper photo of.
