There are 19 Pueblos in New Mexico and we visited Taos Pueblo, which is one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the country. It is a World Heritage Site for Culture and a National Heritage site. They do not allow photographs and being a feast day most of the shops were closed. There is no set time for the activities, none were happening while we were there, so we just enjoyed being able to walk around the pueblo.

On the 4th we drove to Bandelier National Monument that consists of 32,000 acres and includes 3 major sites. We visited the Frijoles Canyon that includes the great house and cliff dwellings. There were a couple of school groups that were touring and I thought how lucky they are that the school outings bring them here, where they can absorb history at such a young age. My school outing was to the Tillamook Cheese Factory.
