Today I drove from Santa Fe to Taos via Chimayo, Truchas, Las Trampas, Rancho de Taos and the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge. It was an excellent photography day with clear blue skies and great New Mexican scenery. A few unrecorded events of the day included a wolf crossing the road on New Mexico Route 68 on the way back to Santa Fe and the police escort of pilgrims on the way to Chimayo for Holy Week. I was in Chimayo in the morning and was able to witness the arrival of a small group of pilgrims as they progressed from the road to the El Santuario de Chimayo. They sang and prayed as the neared the church. This northern part of New Mexico reminds me of the lovely little town of Morelia which I visited some years ago for the Day of the Dead festival.
