Today was our second rest day of our 40 day trip. Taos is a nice little western town with an artist community located here. Around the over 400 year old town square are galleries and artist studios. Our hotel is located on the square and my room and balcony overlooks it. I watched people do Tai-chi this morning while I read the paper and drank my Starbucks coffee.

I was thinking of going for a little ride but Taos is not bike friendly. Most of the roads have no shoulder and the drivers don’t seem to keen to share. Durango and Santa Barbara were much better to ride in.

Weather was nice so I walked around and took some photos. It was relaxing not to have the news on. What is happening to the world? The $700 billion rescue plan for the banks gets rejected. This is great time to ride and not have to think about this mess.
