Summary:
This was a great whirlwind jaunt around the center of Taos. Sam was our guide, whom we quickly decided should be the mayor. He knew people! He took us around, shared some local stories and lore, and also shared how to learn more (by the recommendations of local restaurants, museums, and galleries). We enjoyed it!
