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.

The water in this spring-fed pool is a constant 62 degrees.
