Day 54 - Leaving Santa Fe, San Ildefonso Pueblo, Bandelier NM, Los Alamos NL, Durango CO - August 13, 2008 - Wednesday
 
Packed up.  Drove to the San Ildefonso Pueblo.  Very interesting.  We registered at the Visitor Center and were given a map of the pueblo.  There were specific places we were allowed, and not allowed, to go.  San Ildefonso is famous for their black-on-black pottery.  We stopped in one pottery shop within a home.  Small pieces of pottery for $80-$100.  Wow.  Very pretty, though.  Walked on to the museum.  We learned that a famous potter came from the pueblo - Maria Martinez.  We stopped at her great granddaughter's shop on the way out of the pueblo.  Her pieces were amazing, and $1000-$2000, and other family members had pieces too for close to $1000.  It was very pretty but we hoped to find some more that is in our price range.
