azul de taos
No trip to Taos or New Mexico would be complete without the obligatory "adobe" photo. Tradition has it that blue stops evil spirits from entering the home and dates back to early settlers. Another story relates the color to Our Lady of Guadalupe who appeared to the faithful wrapped in a blue robe. The blue on this door is probably to keep the turistas away since the casa is near the San Francisco de Asis Mission Church, a site with many visitors like me.
