Taos, NM
So today we went out east of Taos to visit the oldest existing, occupied Pueblo community in the world. The main adobe structures were built in the earliest part of the millennium. Others have been built more recently, but do not detract from the village at all. Although a big part of the village is obviously geared
towards tourists (like us) there are still very large parts, including the mountains in the background that, that are strictly off limits as sacred ground. Many of the natives live in the village and others live there part of the time and outside the rest. Kind of a time share arrangement. We also went to the Kit Carson Park for Mathew to play around and stretch his legs.For dinner we went Taos Pizza Out Back (yes, it is actually out back). Not your typical pizza, they sell by the slice, or by the pie. The slices are the size of 2 1/2 NY slices and absolutely delicious. Mike had a Ranchero - Italian saugage, sun-dried tomatoes, smoked cheddar, green chili, & red onions; I (Debbie) had a Portabella - portabella mushrooms (of course), sun-dried tomatoes, red onions, & creamy gorgonzola sauce, yummy. Mathew made friends with the pie makers, and so they gave him some dough to play with. When Mathew created the pie shell they put sauce and cheese on it and baked it up for him. It was wonderful. Afterwards we rested up and prepared for the last legs of our journey.
