Taos Pueblo

Yesterday we visited Taos Pueblo. It is considered to be the oldest continuously inhabited community in the US. The structure that Will and Claire are standing in front of is over 1,000 years old. The buildings are made entirely of adobe which is earth, straw and water mixed together. There is no running water or electricity in the pueblo.
There are only 100 people that still live in Taos Pueblo today, although there are many members that live right outside the walls. All of the villagers were very excited about the first snowfall of the year. It means they will be getting visitors that come to ski. Most houses are open to the public with art and fresh baked goods for sale. Taos has always been a center for trade.
