We only planned on spending one night in Taos so we were upset to check out of the awesome hotel we were staying at. Before we left Taos we wanted to check out the Taos Pueblo. It is a UNESCO site or something like that. Any settlement that has been around for 1100 years is cool to me. We got a tour and walked around a bit. It was very interesting to see.
From the Pueblo we took off for Santa Fe. We took what everyone calls the high road to Taos, yet the guide book suggested we do it going from Taos so that is what we did. It was only about 30-45 minutes longer than the other direction. We had more breathtaking views of the countryside. We stopped at some carpet stores that do their own weaving. It was interesting but M was more into than I was.
We also stopped for a snack at Sugar Nymphs that was recommended by the books and then we had a late lunch at Rancho De Chimayo before heading off to our hotel outside Santa Fe.
For the last leg of our stay we had reservations at the Hilton Buffalo Thunder Resort. As hotels go it was by far the worst of the 3 hotels we stayed at. it was OK, but the other two were fantastic.
After we checked in we went to the indoor pool for a while before going into Santa Fe for dinner. MC got reservations at a Galisteo Bistro in downtown Santa Fe. The food was ok. Compared to the great places we had been to this was nothing spectacular.
