Trying the email-to-blog with attachment from GMail as Yahoo doesn't
seem to be working.

My iPhone has some problems completing the email send with a photo attached, when connected only to the AT&T Edge network. It reports to me that message delivery fails, but then proceeds to try a half-dozen or more times. Hence the mess you see below. Hopefully that won't be too hard to clean-up via the uPhone ( my only device while traveling). This is the view out our Harrah's Paeis Las Vegas room. The glass could use a good cleaning, but the view of the tower & Bellagio fountains was spectacular.

Fwd: In Taos

Well, we made it to Taos. It wasn't quite as long a drive as we'd thought, but there were a couple of delays/distractions.

First was a road construction delay just 15 minutes into our drive out of Durango today. That lasted 50 minutes.

Then we saw a motorcycle accident scene about 45 minutes from Taos. Nothing gory, but the cyclist was still on the ground just off one of those tight turns high up in the mountains. The first law enforcement car was on the scene and just about to stop traffic as we went by for the hospital-helicopter overhead to land. It looked like the Harley driver, a heavier, older gent, may just have lost control in the corner, maybe coming into it too fast. Sobering.

As we neared Taos the Earthpark, semi-buried homes in the desert sagebrush, piqued our attention. I Goodled it and found they are open for tours and available for rental. No thanks.

The other big surprise for our acrophobic driver behind the wheel as we neared wholistic Taos was the Rio Grande river suspension bridge: 658 feet high, and the 2nd tallest in the U.S. Yikes!

LOTS of neat shops to explore. Did I mention how much teens & tweens just love shopping, with their parents!? Ha!

Two nights here, then onto Albrquerque..
