Day 13 - Taos - New Mexico
... with local art in every form you could think of, it's like being in a gallery, and in many ways better than visiting some of the galleries is the collection is so eclectic. So after a day spent checking out galleries, to finish at Paco's gallery is a real treat. I've really lucked out on accommodation here, both places I've stayed were beautiful.

An all girl adventure
We hit the road for Taos then on to Red River. We took the High Road to Taos Scenic Byway and it was scenic.
