Taos Pueblo

I visited the pueblo in town today. It's one of the oldest inhabited Native American pueblos in the country. It was interesting to see, but also left me with a strange feeling. The buildings are simple, made of adobe - earth, water, and straw. There are dogs running around everywhere, though you're not supposed to pet them. Nearly every building has a shop inside selling pottery, jewelry, or food. There were a lot of tourists milling about and I just couldn't help but feel that it was somehow a cheapening of something really cool. Again, worth seeing but not necessarily an uplifting experience.
