This home is conflicted. Can you tell why?

This home has a sweet ride. Funny, I was about to challenge the owner to a drag race, but when he saw my super fast V10-powered Ford E-350 Extended Van coming around the bend he turned all yellow and high-tailed it inside the house.

Driving out of the residential area, I now find myself at the northern end of Taos. Here I stumble across this cemetery. Let's go in an have a look, shall we?

By the looks of it, this is a cemetery for those folks who don't have a whole lot of money, where families and friends do their best to adorn the plots of their loved ones. Not a blade of grass to be found, more a factor of the futility of growing grass in such a dry climate, I suspect.

Here a few of the more creative/elaborate plots.

From the cemetery I make a quick beeline back to the heart of Taos, the Historic District. Not to make honey (get it?), rather, to take a tour.
