The second day of our trip we drove past a place called Earthship, and then the Rio Grande Gorge.  We spent quite a bit of time oogling the depth of the gorge which rivals the one in southern Colorado, the Royal Gorge.

Afterwards, we drove into Taos and got our motel room at a little place called the Adobe Wall.  Nothing fancy…a clean bed, a shower and t.v.  Worth it for $45 a night since we weren’t planning on a hotel/motel vacation anyway.  We walked all over the artsy end of Taos, came back to the room and watched a Bones on my laptop computer.

While wandering town, I visited the Kit Carson home and museum.  Kit had seven kids, three of them adopted Native Americans.  He died within two months of his wife and made sure the kids were provided for.  A copy of his last will and testament showed he was very concerned about their upbringing.

I also discovered two other fascinating things.  In one of the art gallerys, I found beautiful “pottery” by Dan Fogleberg.  When we asked, you know I just had to, we found out this Dan Fogleberg was from Longmont, Colorado and is a cousin to the singer.  I also found out that novelist D.H. Lawrence was a visitor to the Taos area and even had a home just off the Enchanted Loop.

Lawrence is know for works such as Lady Chatterly’s Lover and Women in Love.  He was with his wife, Frieda, who had once been married to one of DH’s professors in England before they ran off together.  Georgia O’Keefe, another frequent visitor to northern New Mexico spent time with DH and his wife.

There is a story to this beautiful tomb…but that’s for another time.
