_ we stayed at our friend sang's house, and in the morning, after we slept off the opera in sleeping bags in the garden hammock, she showed us around her home studio.
_ her house is just off the main street in taos.
_ there's something in the ground in new mexico. this is her garden, planted with, as she says, wild flowers.
_ on our way out, we visited the church of st. francis of assisi to watch the remudding.
_ the mission-style adobe church, complete in 1815, requires a new coat of mud and plaster every year to stop from cracking.
_ volunteers from taos and further afield come in for the several-week operation. here the hudsons, tom and skye clear the stones from the low walls to clear the drainage.
_ our last stop in taos was at the burial mound of dennis hopper, an honorary son of taos. in this picture, we're facing away from it.

Love this. New Mexico looks so beautiful.
That opera piece was great. People look so happy.
