As we headed out of Santa Fe, we wound up the mountain to the little village of Taos. Our first stop was the San Francisco di Asis Chapel, the one painted by Georgia O'Keefe. It was clear why O'Keefe would choose such a picturesque building. This remote chapel was strikingly beautiful.
We then visited the Toas Pueblo, the oldest inhabited structure in America. Native Americans have been living in this building for 2000 years. We stopped in the San Geromino chapel in the pueblo dwelling and then wandered around the village. We bought bread that was warm from the adobe ovens and wandered into small shops run by the Northern Tiva pueblo people.
After our a day in Toas, we stopped at a road side stand and bought jewelry from local artists.
We made our way into Utah, and knew that we were within striking distance of home, the cousins and grandparents and everything that we had driven so far to experience. We celebrated when we passed the "Welcome to Utah" sign!
