Sights In The Southwest: Day 8

We spent the morning in Santa Fe and visited the Georgia O'Keefe Museum and the Santa Fe Museum of Art. It was a little disappointing to realize that all of O'Keefe's famous pieces are located at other museums around the world but it gave us the opportunity to see some of her earlier and less famous pieces.

Since we would be back in Santa Fe the following day we headed off to Taos in hopes of visiting the Taos Pueblo. Unfortunately, when we arrived we realized the Pueblo was closed and wouldn't be open while we were there. Instead, we took advantage of our time in Taos and visited a couple of the other sights in/near town.

Rio Grande Gorge Bridge

We heard that Taos is a great winter town but in the spring it is almost a ghost town. With the great sunny weather, it was hard to not have a nice time while we were there though.
