We had gone to Chimayo earlier but the place has become a tourist town. They have tried to fix up the church but it looks more like a tourist trap than the old historic church it use to be. Anyways, I didn't get any real good photos there. But, we stopped at a little store by the side of the road and while Roje flirted with the cashier, Dora and Elfida looked for things to buy, I walked across the road and found this interesting tree branch. It must have broken a one time but it survived and grew back against the trunk. It looked like a strange creature was trying to hug the tree.
The day started very warm and then the wind kicked up and the temperature dropped into the low 60s with a windchill factor of about minus 20 degrees. It was cold!!
We stopped at an old church and I made same walk across this wall four time before being satisfied with this photo.
Elfida found some protection from the cold wind behind this old door.
Hey, its Nacho Libre. "I don't believe in religion, only in science."
We made a sudden stop when we spotted something unusual for this part of the country. Roje went to photograph it and...Watch it Roje!!! That would have been funny... not to Roje, but to us...Okay, to me and Elfida mostly.
Well, that's one way to get water across a gully. Two hollowed out trees connected together spanning across the gully worked perfect. What crafsmanship!
That is increadible.
See how well it works.
We made it back to Santa Fe and went to the Olive Garden to eat. Roje, Dora and Sam review some of Roje's photos. We had a huge dinner. Elfida helped some young kid recover some money he had dropped on the floor. The money was picked up by an employee who hadn't turned it in to the lost and found. After dinner we went to the hotel and then spent an hour in the jacuzzi and the pool.
