Travel Tips for Taos
San Geronimo Church (Taos Pueblo, NM)
built in 1850 is a Registered National Historic Landmark. It is one of the youngest buildings in the village. It is an extroadinary example of the architectural achievements of the natives. As you enter, note the fine carved wooden beams of vigas and choir loft. The thickness of the adobe walls that the support the high ceiling offer the best natural insulation making the summers cool and the winters warm within the thick walls. The central altar figure or Santo is the Virgin Mary, along with other Santos that were brought by the early Spanish missionaries. The Virgin Mary within the native religion depicts the parallel of Mother Nature. The outfits that drape the saints are changed according to the seasons. The Natives incorporated their values into the altar to remind themselves of cultural values. To the right is a symbolic casket, which were placed in missions throughout the New World to convert the natives to Catholic funeral practices. Today about 3/4 of the population shares in some of the Catholic practices while the native rituals perseveres 100% in daily life. The Native religion is verbally passed down from generation to generation. The Kivas are just one of the sacred religious shrines. They are off limits to non-members. Mass is conducted each Sunday morning at 7 am by a priest that is shared with the catholic Church in the Town of Taos. The Taos Pueblo Governor's Officials known as Fiscales maintain the Church.
Hong Kong
I spent about a week in Hong Kong, traveling on business, last November. What a facsinating place and culture! Wish I had more time to sight see while there. These are pics of my trip to the mainland, a waterfront town called Sai Kung, and another from Kow Loon. Would love to go back for a pleasure trip
The Llama Foundation
While visiting a friend's place on what was described to me as the Llama foundation, the only thing I could find out about the lands was the Llama Deara Ranch which I assume is located there and gives an idea of the residents. The Llama Foundation lands are nearby Taos New Mexico and the Taos Pueblo. Located within the Enchanted Circle. The famous landscapes well known from the art of Georgia O'Keeffe. Its a peaceful retreat area for artists and writers, and is a rustic spiritual community located 8,600 feet in the Sangre Cristo Mountains, 20 miles north of Taos. Built on the side of the mountain in the early 70's, Llama is a community of creative architecture, with large and small domes for worship, a sunken meditation room, and hermit cabins high on the mountain for solitary retreats. It's a place where all spiritual paths are respected and treated equal. The Universal Dances of Peace hold alot of activities here. Nearby are also a Tibetan temple, a Sikh Community, Neem Karoli Baba Ashram, Saint Francis de Assisi Church, and the Taos Pueblo. I wish I had more time to have visited, but what I saw i was impressed with. Rated 5 stars out of 5.
Lovely little Church in Montezuma
I don't know anything about this church but what you see, but isn't it lovely. It is nice to see such an uninhibited use of color and I think the result is stunning. Two giant birds (doves?) bracket what I believe is a nativity scene.
