Day 13 - Taos - New Mexico
... an artist and made the beautiful Indian dolls in my sitting room, and both Paco and his brother are jewellers. Paco doesn't make jewellery any more as he's busy running the B&B but his brother still does and makes and sells it in the trading post shop his grandfather set up.

I found out it didn't open until noon on Sunday but I found an open network and ate some bread with peanut butter. Then I walked around an old part of town nearby, where some of the first residents lived. La Loma Plaza was lovely. I saw a couple churches and mostly ...
