Even though I lived in NM for a lot of my childhood I don’t remember ever going to Taos. After seeing it for the first time I think it is probably like some other touristy towns we have visited, very clean, lots of nice shops and wonderful restaurants. Speaking of restaurants, a place called “Bella’s Mexican Grill” has some of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten and is rated the #1 restaurant on TripAdvisor. We visited the Taos Pueblo, a very old Catholic Church, the San Francisco de Assisi Mission Church
Ranchos de Taos (http://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/american_latino_heritage/san_francisco_de_assisi_mission_church.html),
New Mexico and the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge.

An old cabin on the drive to Taos. On the other end someone has added fiberglass siding like the stuff used on greenhouses, so I shot from this end it looked better.

A little dugout beside the shack.

You see what I mean about being a clean town.

I loved this bench.

A cemetery behind the original church.

The original bell still stands in church steeple.

Corn anyone.
