Take the high road and then the low road

There are two roads to Taos from Santa Fe. The low road and the high road. One takes you high the other follows the Rio Grande river, mostly low. We took the high road towards Taos and the low road back. Lots of little villages on both roads.

On the high road.

On the high road we went by a little mission that was built around a well with 'holy dirt'. There were crutches, back braces etc in a little room adjacent to the room housing the dirt well. Apparently people from all over the world come to get a little bag of holy dirt. One of the women here at the camp told of three healings for herself and her husband using the holy dirt. There was no charge and no one is turned away. The well was about 12-14 inches wide and there were two small scoops in the dirt for people to use. A sign requested no pictures of the dirt well.

How is this for a back yard??

And a front yard?

Following the Rio Grande river home.
