Taos, NM: St. Francis Church, Rio Grande Gorge Bridge

Beautiful scenery driving through New Mexico. Look! Giant crack in the horizon...the Rio Grande river.

Entering, Taos, New Mexico

I saw a sign for another St. Francis of Assisi church and stopped to find this beautiful adobe structure.

There were beautiful gardens in front and a couple large trees with picture perfect benches beneath.

St. Francis carved into a door of a nearby structure (left). The backside of the church (right).

Jacqueline suggested that I visit the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge. It was only a 7 mile detour so I had to check it out.

Did I mention fear of heights? Omg, omg, omg, the bridge is moving, fear of heights, fear of heights, fear of heights. I made it about halfway across (walking) and then my legs turned to jelly. Focused concentration and sheer will power brought me back to the car. OK! On to the next adventure...
