Day 13 - Taos - New Mexico
... 1903. I know I said it was an artist's mecca already, but that's almost an understatement. The area is so beautiful and inspiring to artists of all types (painters, sculptures, jewellers, potters, photographers etc etc) that it seems to only take one visit before the decision is made to move here.
