Leaving Albuquerque we visited the spectacular Bandalier National Monument and enjoyed immensely the ladder climbing and scrambling through ancient pueblo's set in canyon walls.
Unfortunately, Rose was sick for a few days so we had to skip the 2 mile hike to the natural hot springs we'd originally planned.
Three days in Santa Fe left us hungering for more with it's great art, food and architecture.
We've just left Taos after a very personal and localized visit there thanks to the warmth and openess of a fellow New Zealander, Joy, who we met at the Santa Fe Farmers Market selling her Yak meat.
We camped one night next to a rushing stream a few miles down from the Taos Ski Valley and the second night in Joy's street. We visited the Earthship Community on our way out of Taos this morning and were captivated by the amazing sustainable housing designs.
After climbing over a 10,000 foot pass we've set up in quiet Chama for our last night in New Mexico before heading to Durango, Colorado tomorrow for a few nights stay.
