Days 4 & 5

Day 4 was spent driving from Estes Park to Taos, about 6 hours, of course I napped (comment by Brent - yeah, napped - 90% of the trip) along the way. After checking in at our resort we walked around part of historic Taos, found a place to eat (Mexican of course). But most importantly we located a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, today's treat was a milk chocolate covered caramel. And these are not your Brach's size caramels, these are about 1.5 inches square-yummy.




Day 5 started out rainy and cool but we ventured into town anyway. Found a great place to eat breakfast, everyone else found it too, but it was worth the wait. We steered clear of the bakery where they displayed some deadly looking food items.





We drove out to Taos Pueblo, an old Indian settlement, but it was closed, we are going to try there again on our way out of town tomorrow. We then drove out to the Rio Grande Gorge and I did venture out onto the bridge with Brent, looking straight ahead until we stopped and then I glanced down-WOW! I'll have to look up how deep it is but it's a long, long way down. Another beautiful sight. As we headed back to the car we were pelted first with cold rain then hail. It only lasted about 2 minutes, just enough to get us damp and cold.










We bought a pair (or should I say 2 pair) of fur-lined booties for Addie. If we can get them on her they might help her walk on the hardwood floors. I'll be sure to get pictures of that also.
