TaoS NM
We have been 4 nights in a row sleeping in hotels.
Last night it was the Hotel La Fonda on the Central Square inTaos
We were about the only people staying so the rate was reasonable.
I noticed not only Gideon’s bible in the dresser drawer but also the teachings of Buddha.
Very thoughtful.
Los Alamos was a really neat place. Great town lots of physicists and (literally) rocket scientists.
We checked out the Bradbury museum which could take days to get through.
Nearby is the remains of a volcanic Caldera from about 1 million years ago.
Very nice place to hike a we did a pretty easy couple of miles.
Taos was a bit different from what I expected. A lot more spread out .
Galleries and stuff like Santa Fe but plenty of regular people running around looking pretty regular.
And a few of those those that were clearly beyond regular.
We paid a visit to the Earthship biotecture complex 15 miles out of Taos.
4 or 500 acres dedicated to building a community of off the grid alternative housing.
Made of old car tires and what not, built into a berm of water cisterns, they are a site to behold.
While I applaud their efforts, $250+ per square foot for a house is a bit steep for this Gunship Commander
But they do look kind of cool popping up out of the landscape
Ate chicharrones with “Christmas style” Chile in Taos for dinner.
Then the biggest breakfast burrito imaginable the next morning.
The we hit the road
The Rio Grande outside Los Alamos ... the unknown theme of our trip
Beyond conventional living !!!
