As I mentioned in a previous post, I’m in Taos for the week to attend a writer’s workshop. I arrived yesterday and the workshop begins this evening and so I’ve spent these few free hours visiting the Taos Pueblo and checking out the town on foot. The weather’s lovely which translated means it’s unseasonably cool [...]
