Taos
Last stop in the four corners. Nice to end the trip in a somewhat familiar Totnes like bohemia feel. Any town where art galleries and bars are abundant life is good. Taos is a small town nestled in the snow peaked Sangra do Cristo Mountains. An eccentric place, a history of luring artists from all over with its fabled clear light. Hung out at Eske’s brew pub, listening to some great live music. Strange to be in the last stop of the four corners trip we could carry on living like this forever I think. What a fantastic journey. Can’t wait to get back to the studio to see the images up close.
We ran out to Taos Pueblo village which is a Native American community with these amazing multi-storied adobe buildings that have been continuously inhabited for over 1000 years. About 150 people live within the pueblo full time. Other families use them as summer homes. Selling all kinds of crafts and art work. We spent hours wandering around.
Start the long drive back to Philly tomorrow. Can’t even imagine living inside again yet.
The open road is such a contagious feeling.
Sometimes I feel like an addict craving more
wind in my hair, more moments of such wonder.
Oh well… On the road again.
Basecamp’s Maiden Voyage…..28 hours later Key west
1,599 miles to here and now only 90 miles to Cuba…..
Tonight we watched sunset at Mallory Square. Strange watching the sunset with about 1000 other travelers all at the same spot. It made me wonder just how many people on an average night across the planet watch sunset on a daily basis. The sunset and everyone in the crowd starting clapping and shouting. Street entertainers preformed astonishing acts of physical anomalies for bucket fulls of change. We watched for a while then headed for cuban food.
