Like I said in my initial New Mexico post, I had been away from my home state for 10 whole years. As a young child/teenager, I lived in Los Alamos, yet never ventured north to Taos, which is probably by far one of the more well-known towns in the state. Since we traveled to New Mexico this time around for a wedding in Angel Fire (see future post), we hopped into the car and spent the day in Taos.

Taos is situated in the north-central region of New Mexico in the Sangre de Christo mountains (source: this map and wikipedia). It's mostly known for its great hippie commune-type living situations and, of course, the thriving artist community. It's a small town, definitely walkable. We parked the car in front of city hall for the entire day.
