Today we'll look more at the little B&B where we stayed two nights for our visit to the
Earth Ships, Taos NM, and even a trip to Santa Fe in 2019.
Shades are available to control the amount of sunlight coming in the windows. Of course
solar panels help with electricity.
Nice landscaping was done on the approach to the house.
You can see part of the roof has a garden.
This was the first week in Sept. 2019. Lots of nice indigenous plants in the entrance area.
There's a lot of desert out there! Many strange looking buildings are all around.
And inside our earth ship B&B.
My bedroom was in the living/dining area...but a nice big comfy bed was fine for me.
The cord coming down from the ceiling leads to a vent which can be opened or closed.
I don't travel all that light, with a C-PAP machine and nebulizer too. But see that paper map book on top of my laptop under the pink bag? It came in handy a bit, because out in the desert sometimes there was no signal to find where we were going. Once we went east into the mountains rather than west to the Earth Ship B&B. Eventually we figured out that we were going the wrong way!
Today's quote:
Solitude, though it may be silent as light, is like light, the mightiest of agencies; for solitude is essential to man. All men come into this world alone; all leave it alone.
-Thomas De Quincey, writer (15 Aug 1785-1859)
Anyone interested in the resistance...here's a great source of various videos and more links!
Very interesting although the surroundings looked a little forlorn in that season.
ReplyDeleteYes, desert surroundings were sure forlorn! That's why I've never been drawn to that landscape. Gotta have some greenery at least over 2 seasons of the year!
DeleteThe B&B looks great! Love the cute grandpup! Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI was so glad to share this trip with my son and daughter-in-law...and Zora!
Delete...visiting the O'Keefe Museum would be a dream come true..
ReplyDeleteI was in seventh heaven for sure. Here are some photos of it...Alchemy of Clay https://blackmtnbarb.blogspot.com/2019/10/beautiful-paintings-and-clay-sculptures.html
DeleteSuch a nice and clever place!!!
ReplyDeleteThere aren't many places where this kind of architecture is allowed, with many zoning restrictions in most areas.
DeleteThe place looks very nice and inviting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely adventure you had! I quite like it.
ReplyDeleteI like your link for those interested in the resistance. I need some direction.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Not my cup of tea, but still there is a strange beauty i have to admit.
ReplyDeleteI suppose one should carry a compass in the desert since there are not that many landmarks to orient you.
