In early September, we finally made a trip to the Taos Pueblo in New Mexico; something we had been talking about since arriving Stateside in February. It is one of the oldest inhabited places in the USA with history dating back more than 1000 years. It was really neat.
This structure has been continually inhabited in one form or another for over 1000 years. As we learned about the building techniques and social practices, it made us all ponder all of the history that has occurred at the Taos Pueblo.
What's more iconic than blue sky and adobe for the American Southwest? We love traveling in the Southwest and we feel grateful to have grown up there with those BIG BLUE skies.
Some of the locals were selling little wares and food stuffs. Our girls all made it home with a few necklaces and bracelets all made from dyed corn. They were pretty excited.
The impetus for our trip was Grandmas birthday. She wanted to take us to the pueblo for her birthday. Cool! We had a great time together and really enjoyed learning the history of a culture that is far older than mine and just a little ways down the road.
