After we arrived, we headed out and found Cristina's mom a handmade nativity scene that was made in a pottery style that used the native soil to create the pieces. To recharge ourselves, we made a stop and picked up some Indian Fried Bread from one of the locals on the pueblo. For anyone who is not familiar with Indian Fried Bread (not that I was either until we found it this morning), it is similar to a funnel cake but it looks like a large four tortilla before it is fried to perfection. I might add, that if this is something you have never had, and you are presented the opportunity I would not pass it up.
After spending most of the morning at the pueblo, we headed back in to town to make a round in old downtown Taos. After some browsing and lunch, it was time to had back to Santa Fe for a dinner we had planned for the evening.
On the way back, we made a few stops at the scenic look outs that are along the road to take a look at the people rafting in the Rio Grande River. Then we made one final stop at the Black Mesa Winery where Cristina did a wine tasting. She is now a big fan of Black Beauty, the signature wine of the estate that is flavored with chocolate for a sweet taste.
Following dinner, we headed back to our new found home away from the motel to the downtown plaza for another free concert. The music was a little different tonight, but the scene was fun as usual.
