Today we took the ”High Road” to Taos, NM. It was a quaint, small city nestled amongst the snow capped mountains. On the way we stopped at the Santuario de Chimayo. This lovely old Catholic Church is the destination of a yearly, 90 mile pilgrimage during lent for those who believe in the healing powers of the dirt within the grounds of the church. I wish I could have taken a picture of the altar. It was made of carved wood and painted in a primitive style. It moved me more than any of the ornate altars I’ve seen across Europe. The city of Taos was filled with fun shops to browse through. We took a different route home that took us over the Rio Grande River Gorge bridge that spans the over 600 foot gorge. It was impressive, as were all the BLM Campgrounds along the river. We had leftovers for dinner tonight and then off to bed early, as we have a 3:30 AM wake up time in order to crew for our friends at the ALBUQUERQUE BALLOON FEISTA!
