Ojo Caliente... the Hot Springs!
Okay so Friday, our class visited Taos, a pueblo that is one of the most traditionally kept pueblos out of the 19 communities in New Mexico. Taos doesn't have any electricity inside its plaza or plumbing. Its one of the top places that welcomes tourists inside its walls, gives tours and sells jewelry right inside its homes. Julia Roberts has a ranch at Taos and people are allowed to shoot at record big Elk for 10,000 dollars ... just to give you a sense of how welcoming the community is. On our way their we stopped at one of the calmer parts of the Rio Grande and saw one of the biggest gorges I've ever seen. After Taos, we went to Ojo Caliente... THE HOT SPRINGS! It was amazing. The water heat was natural and the landscape was unbelievable. There was an Iron pool, an Arsenic pool, a mud bath, general pool, massages and wraps were also offered. Our entire class did the mud bath and I'll try to get a picture from someone else's camera ... it was a sight; we all looked like Encino Man. I'm still working on the pictures but believe me they don't do it justice.
