TAOS PUEBLO

Today was our last day here in Angel Fire, so a trip back to Taos was planned. The road back into Taos is very curvy and narrow and I didn't think they would want to travel back there, but I was wrong. Kathe and Jim had never been to the Taos Pueblo and wanted to visit it before we head on to Santa Fe tomorrow morning.

The Taos Pueblo is an adobe settlement situated in the valley of the Sangre de Cristo mountains along a creek that flows from the sacred Blue Lake. The Red Willow Pueblo people have called this area home for more than 1000 years and they live here following the ways of the
ancient people. It is the only living Native American community designated both a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and a National Historic Landmark. They live much as their ancestors did in an adobe village with no electricity and no running water. Bread is baked daily in traditional Horno clay ovens. Most of the village is open to explore and they were able to learn a lot about the community from a guided tour.

After the tour they stopped for lunch at one of the adobe homes and two native american women made fry bread for Kathe and Indian tacos with chili for everyone else.
