Jayufui & Nirenfua visit: It was just a weekend but a wonderful one. Jayufui and Nirenfua love the southwest and this was a perfect opportunity for them to plan a trip to see us and something different in this area. While in Taos, we went to the Arts festival, enjoyed the fiery skies at sunset park, drove a ways to save a burning kiln with $40,000 worth of pottery, introduced them to Taos cow icecream and even hit Divisidero.
The rest of May flew by with our trip to Hawaii and anticipation and nervousness about Phoenix.
June 2007
Starting a new life in Phoenix: So we visited and found our first home! Excited but nervous about the decision. We were heading back on Father's day not knowing our life was about to change. Driving in to Taos at almost midnight, Amit's image of a deer materialized into reality this time. We swerved and the next thing we thought- "This is it!" My Super Trooper no longer looked super; completely crushed, but keeping us alive and unhurt. It was almost like a sign that our time in Taos was over.
Mom, Sunandamoushi and Tito arrive: We were so glad that Sunandamoushi could make Taos a halt on her cross-country move to San Jose. Tito melted our hearts immediately. They had a fun week with us as we did with them.
Solar Music Fest: The much anticipated and talked about event at K-Taos was finally here. Amit went along only for me as I didn't want to miss the experience, the music, the atmosphere, the vibes. And the lightning, thunder and rain added the element of drama to a rocking day.
July 2007
We did it: Our last month in Taos was marked by the hike up Wheeler Peak on July 4th! What a climb, what an exhilarating feeling! We had the real Star with us who didn't tire a bit with her 4WD capabilities. And when else would we see Khemarin "skiing" down a sheet of remainder snow in his hiking shoes!! At the end of the hike, we joined Mol and Ben for the parade at Arroyo Seco.
Farewell: It was time to say goodbye to the Seng/Ware family as they headed out to Colorado 2 weeks before we would be heading towards Paris. I never though special friendships could be built at this stage and in a short period of time...we will surely miss them!
The Pow-Wow: I had been told by Gina not to miss this event at the Pueblo and I didn't. It was a fitting way to end our stay in Taos, being part of the Pueblo festivities with the backdrop of Taos mountain, knowing it will bring us back in different ways. Mark and Mary welcomed us into their home and heart and they were one of the many people in Taos we will never forget...
dedicated Anthony, dynamic Marty, genuine Nancy, funky Stephanie, fun Betty, warm Susan, nice Julie, wonderful Emily, helpful Steph, laughing Larry, sensible Stephen, meticulous Lovey, gentle Eliane, and this list will go on...
