  • Taos Pueblo

    23 de maio de 2025, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Over 1000 years old, Taos Pueblo is the one that best chose the traditional architecture of the Pueblo Indians. In this whole part of town, the inhabitant keep their traditional ways. No electricity or plumbing, but only 10 families still live here, most everyone has a modern house outside of the old town. I really enjoyed walking around, you can really imagine how life would’ve been in all those ruins I’ve been visiting over the past weeks.Leia mais

  • Santa Fe & Co. - Spanish Heritage

    25 de maio de 2025, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    The Spanish or Mexican heritage is very tangible, starting with the predominant Adobe construction in Santa Fe, to the historical churches, the food with the chili everywhere, and a lot of Spanish speakers. In terms of art, more than objects from colonial times I saw religious/ devotional figurines and paintings of the Santero folk art. Santero means Saint-maker. Modern Santeros also critique society.Leia mais

  • Taos to Great Sand Dunes

    26 de maio de 2025, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Mainly a driving day today as I leave New Mexico and head north to Colorado. A few short stops along the road, as the weather turns from sunny to scary… I opt for an early night and a more extensive visit to Great Sand Dunes National Park tomorrow, when it’s supposed to be sunny again.Leia mais

  • Great Sand Dunes to Royal Gorge

    27 de maio de 2025, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    The weather was great in the morning and then got progressively worse. I lucked out to get some sunshine for my main activities today: hiking in Great Sand Dunes National Park, a quick stop at the UFO Watchtower (aliens abducted a horse here in 1967) before a 2 hour drive across the vast San Luis Valley and down the stunning Arkansas River Valley brought me to Royal Gorge.Leia mais

  • Custer State Park

    1 de junho de 2025, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    In the southern part of the Black Hills, the state park is known for its wildlife and scenic drives, two of them (the most spectacular ones) with tunnels too low for my car. I explore the southern part driving and hiking and spend the evening hours on the famous Wildlife Drive.Leia mais
