Taos Time . . . .Timeless

Arriving in Taos this afternoon was a real treat.  The city of Santa Fe, despite its quaint, historic center, has grown to a busy, 75,000+.  We haven't really gotten a chance to explore here in Taos as yet but we're told that this little town of 5,500 has grown a lot, too, in recent years.  Nonetheless, Taos seems lovely and accessible in its smallness.  We drove straight to the Mabel Dodge Luhan House http://www.mabeldodgeluhan.com/ and checked into our room.  This place is steeped in history and you can see why Georgia O'Keefe, good friend of Mabel Dodge, loved staying here.  Our room is at the top of the structure and we have to walk up several narrow flights of stairs to get here.  It's almost all glass and looks out over the mountains.  Beautiful views . . .  no curtains ...we'll be waking up with the sun tomorrow.
