The day we visited the Hacienda there was a community Trade Fair with local artisians. Meg and I met Susan and Pearl who are part of the Red Willow Tribe. They live at Taos Pueblo (see post below for photos). They were cooking bread, pies and cookies in the adobe oven called an horno. Meg, master chief that she is, jumped right in and asked for a cooking lesson! The bread was REALLY good!
We were so intriqued with the cooking demo that I forgot to take pictures of the hacienda! We did make friends with some of the locals. The community historian swore up and down that he'd meet me before and then hand painted each of us beautifully images of San Francisco de Asis Church to bring home! Susan, Pearl, Meg and I exchanged addresses and hope to stay in touch. Needless to say, we found everyone very welcoming and warm.
