Harwood House Museum in Taos
A few pictures to share from my recent trip to Northern New Mexico. I am so appreciative of my friends
Donna and Don of Albuquerque for the opportunity to stay in their house and spend two weeks of inspiration and relaxation. I had the perfect mix of solitude and sociability. While in Taos where my friends let me stay in their condo, I visited with Leighanna Light and Thomas Ashman. I got to see their new home in Ranchos de Taos.

Leighanna and I visited the Mabel Dodge Luhan House where we are planning to teach workshops next year.
Look at the site of this historic and beautiful setting.

A few days later I ventured up to Las Cienegas, just outside of (or just inside of?) Santa Fe to drop in on Ariel Gore and Maria Perez who moved from Portland about a year ago. They kindly fed me a vegan, mostly raw food dinner which was delicious, as was the conversation sitting on their patio. Maria and I share a love of Hispanic/Indigenous Catholic iconography. (You'll see my first attempt at my own version of this arte popular in the next post.)
The drive back to Albuquerque that evening was gorgeous--sunset in the huge sky, and and the mountains--well, words fail me.

I have been to Taos several times, including one Xmas Eve celebration at the Pueblo. But I got to LIVE in Albuquerque for 7 years and go to Santa Fe whenever I wanted! My brother and his family lived in Santa Fe for years and years - before they moved to Portland. So I know that neck of the woods. It is all you say and more. Still I do not miss it enough to scheme a way to go back...not yet anyway.
Hi Serena,
Glad your trip was wonderful for you. I'm due to take a trip to Santa Fe next year. It's been over ten years and my wonderful friends there are encouraging and gracious hosts. Can't wait.
xxoo
It looks like you had a great trip and how exciting to be teaching with leighanna -- I'll be anxiously awaiting details about that! And I've met Annie before, so such fun to see a photo of the two you together.
