We were a bit adjusted to the altitude and to the time change and so breakfast on the second day was good ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080197 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080198 and accompanied by the daily paper ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080199 before we drove on to the high road to Taos and stopped at the Santuario de Chimayo ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080200 recording a few license plates for the collection ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080201 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080202 before taking in the view ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080203 and recording the locale ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080204 and the signs which appeared slightly contradictory ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080205 as we studied the map ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080206 and thanked our saviors ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080207 as many had done before us ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080208 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080209 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080210 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080211 before we came upon this sculpture that was open to many interpretations ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080212 and then saw our lady of peace to whom many pennies had been offered. ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080213 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080214 These were all the people we were to be praying for along with offerings ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080215 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080216 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080217 including this ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080218 and the many candles being lit ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080219 as we approached Leona's restaurant ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080220 and then were exposed to the holy water (for which containers were sold at the gift shop along with containers for the holy dirt which could not be photographed, ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080221 Next we came across the base of this statue ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080222 and the statue itself where we were to be photographed later ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080223 but first we had to see the church exterior ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080224 and then we could be photographed ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080225 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080226 along with the side wall of the rest rooms. ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080227 We saw the historical marker ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080228 and then walked into the town where we were greeted with this message, a sign for the collection ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080229 accompanied by chiles ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080230 and another place that also sold chiles (but both were closed) ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080231 though the store that sold woodcarving Popsicles was open ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080232 as we made our way back to the sanctuary and saw the saintess of Vietnam ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080233 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080234 before exploring the other statues ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080235 and then these structures which represent the seven days of creation. ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080236 Driving north, we came to the town of Las Trampas ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080237 which had a remarkable church ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080238 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080239 dating back to 1760 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080240 though this grave stone was more recent ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080241 but the church required more photos ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080242 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080243 even as we explored the grounds ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080244 and saw the closed taste of Trampas ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080245 and so after a final photo ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080246 we headed on to Taos where we first visited the rest rooms ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080247 and then captured the broad scene there ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080248 including this structure in the cemetery ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080249 as we were welcomed ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080250 and so explored the church ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080251 and captured many views of the pueblo ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080252 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080253

../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080256 before being lured by this sign ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080257 to have this selfie ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080258 where this was the bill of fare ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080259 these were the drinks ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080260 and this was my meal ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080261 as Jeff tried out the special chair ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080262 before we headed back to the pueblo ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080263 and discovered this well ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080264 with poles ascending ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080265 and the neighboring well ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080266 after which I took many photos of the pueblo ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080267 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080268 interrupted by this sign for the collection ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080269 before I returned to photos of the pueblo. ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080270

../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080275 Our trip ended with a visit to the cemetery ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080276 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080277 and a photo of the beautiful New Mexico sky. ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080278

After a break we went to dinner at the Casa Chimayo where the musicians were a little stiff ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080279 though Jeff was amused ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080280 as was Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080281 as drinks were served ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080282 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080283 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080284 the menu was studied ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080285 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080286 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080287 ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080288 and the guacamole arrived ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080289 along with homemade chips ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080290 and salsa ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080291 and these condiments for the fajitas ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080292 as my huevos racheros arrived ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080293 to the amusement of our waiter ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080294 as the fajita ingredients arrived. ../../../Sabbat/2014/07.04-30.14RecoveryTrip/07.04-06.14SantaFe/P1080295
