Well we arrived in Santa Fe on April 21st and it was an exciting time. First off, some "dirtbag" accessed our identity and got into some of our accounts, including our credit card accounts. We've had to reinvent ourselves financially. Change bank account numbers, passwords, user ID's, etc. etc. It's been a real pain and the stress level was off the charts.
In between, we did get in some sightseeing and we took a 3 day road trip by car up to Taos and the Enchanted Circle and the Taos Pueblo. The drive up to Taos takes you through a long winding mountain road up to 10,000 ft. The fields are still snow covered and it looks more like Vermont in the winter then springtime in New Mexico.

Old church and grave site at Taos Pueblo
Most have been converted to shops..
....but some are still living quarters.Taos is a liberal artist's community with many of the 60's hippie culture now turned into shop and hotel owners. Some really fine galleries and some amazing sights. The Taos Pueblo is over 1,000 years old and is still home to many residents although most of the units have been converted into shops where the Indians sell their artistic creations. The Enchanted Circle takes you through several towns, including the major ski resort of Angel Fire and the first Vietnam Veteran's Memorial.

We stopped at some historic churches who claim to posses healing powers as well as a painting of Christ which displays different properties when the lights are turned off.
Can't take photo's of actual painting, but these are in the church hall. Notice the cross in the pic on the left. Only visible when the room is in complete darkness. Artist denies putting it in painting.
Lot's of photo's of some really fabulous countryside.
Off to Colorado Springs and Denver next.
We'll talk again soon.
