The Pueblo was a bust . . .


The conference people provide shuttle excursions for attendees to use some of their free time seeing the sites of Taos. We set out yesterday for Taos Pueblo, a World Heritage Site and one of the main draws here for countless visitors. Unfortunately, the Pueblo Indians closed it long enough for us to have to turn around to get back to the workshops. They had a funeral going on, and closed it to the public temporarily. It's famous for being continuously inhabited for more than 1,000 years. And the multi-storied adobe dwellings are extremely picturesque. So we came back to the Sagebrush Inn, where the conference is, and I took a walk around here, snapped a few photos, then checked my e-mail on the grassy courtyard, wi-fi style.

We're going to try for the pueblo again on Friday.
