I had been looking forward to visiting Taos for decades! Sister Jeanne, my art history professor at Daemen College, had taught me about several buildings there and I wanted to see them for myself.<\/p>\n

In addition to the buildings I knew about, I couldn’t wait to see what else I could fine in this magical place.<\/p>\n

One thing I was looking forward to was dining out. In addition to the buildings, I was reading about the good eating available in Taos. I was getting a little tired of eating in. Not only do I have to cook the food, but I have to clean up after myself. Since I live in about 250 square feet, it’s hard to ignore a mess in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

The first day, I ate at The Alley Cantina, the oldest building in town. Well, part of the building is 400 years old. As with any good building, you keep repairing and rebuilding.<\/p>\n

\"Tamales,<\/a>

My second day, I ate at The Farmhouse Cafe and Bakery. Everything was locally sourced, grass-fed, non-GMO, pesticide-free and handmade. I felt 75% more hip after that lunch.<\/p>\n

My third day, I ate at Michael’s Kitchen, a place a friend had recommended to me. You know it’s good when you have to wait in line for 20 minutes – and it’s not even a peak meal period.<\/p>\n

\"Huevos<\/a>

My last dining experience was another recommendation – The Adobe Bar at the Taos Inn. I looked over the menu, and decided upon Nachos. They had small and large. I asked for the small size. The waiter recommended that I get half of a small. I’m so glad he did! I think I managed to finish half of the half order.<\/p>\n

Now that we have the dining out of the way, I’ll share more about the architectural features – in my next post.<\/p>\n
