Side Business
Just across from the famous church, you’ll see Vigil’s Store, which seems to be doing a brisk business selling chile-related products. I bought a little bag of dried green chile powder. (The storekeeper told me she enjoyed watching me take a deep breath of the scent, with my eyes closed and a smile on my face.)

Here at the sacred site of Chimayó, there are mementos and memorials everywhere, like this one for Delia.

Only tourists but the view is nice
This is the view from the picnic shelter on Interstate 40, just west of Santa Rosa, New Mexico. Is it any wonder that a David Byrne song* came to mind?

The water in this spring-fed pool is a constant 62 degrees.
This guy is about to be pretty chilly.

Faith can have many layers
The weathered wood, glass-free windows, sunlight on the floor, the distant mesa, all layered up.
