What a contrast to Alaska. We found a great camping spot, right next to the river (but unfortunately also next to the noisy road!). Loved all the art galleries and the gorgeous adobe houses. Visited Kit Carson's house (bottom right hand corner, click on picture to enlarge) which was really interesting. Incredible to think that the American settlement was such recent history..........how tough life must have been. I am constantly amazed by the contrast between "Hollywood America" and the "real America" which is such a rich and complex tapestry of peoples and cultures.
Bought a fab mask from the arts market. Made from gourdes and painted with leather dyes, just gorgeous. Seem to be developing a bit of a mask thing. Visiting the the Cathedral dedicated to St Francis of Assisi took us bakc
to our great visit there a couple of years ago.
Loved the beautiful flowers displayed in lovely old carts, barrels etc. Mmmmm life is good
