Additionally Chuck and I went to the following churches:

Sangre de Cristo Chapel, Cuartelez, NM
Santa Cruz de la Cañada Church in Española, NM
San Lorenzo Church at Picuris Pueblo
The Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, Santa Fe, NM

Photography was not allowed at the Santa Domingo Pueblo, and we were unable to photograph at Taos Pueblo due to the San Geronimo Festival.

Loretto Chapel

We didn't go into the Loretto Chapel, so apparently we missed the miracle staircase.

Bandelier National Monument, near Española, NM

Bandelier National Monument was an interesting place -- a site of ancient ruins from the original Pueblo people. We took the short loop around.
