Day 3

On day 3 we had a lecture by an expert on Taos Pueblo (because she grew up there, among other things)and then we headed to Taos Pueblo which is the only living world heritage site. About 100 people live there currently but there used to be thousands. I could only choose one camera to take with me (by their rules) so I had to choose my video camera so I could get video and poor quality photos. It was an awesome experience. I got a real tomahawk for my brother and ate a frito pie and a slice of blueberry pie. Everything is made in the Pueblo and they don't have running water or electricity. There are only 19 pueblos left and this is the only non-"modern" one that people live in. Pueblo people were not forced to relocate like all other Natives were to reservations. They were also the only time the Natives realllllly defeated a European Colony. In 1680, they rose up together and kicked the Spanish out for 12 years.

 Then we headed over to the quaint town of Taos (where Julia Roberts lives. And we also visited the Historic Ranchos Church. 

 I was still feeling pretty weird from the altitude so I went to bed early.
