Sunday ended up being the only day that we did not have to get up early. Once we did get moving (after 10am), we headed down to the Taos Plaza to check out the shops and galleries. We got a tip from somebody in a shop to try Doc Martin’s for lunch. Always ask the locals where they eat. They will never steer you wrong.
After lunch we started our drive on The Enchanted Circle. This route takes you north of Taos in a circle around Wheeler Peak. We stopped at the Rio Grande Gorge bridge (it’s really high up), Taos Ski Valley (not many people here at this time of year) and various other little towns.
After a few hours of driving it was time for dinner. The lady at the hotel recommended the restaurant next to the San Francisco de Asis church. We got there and it was closed. We started looking through our guidebook and realized that alot of the places closed early on Sundays. We decided to ask one of the workers at the church for a dinner recommendation. He told us about the Guadalajara Grill. We figured that a guy that works at a church wouldn’t lie to us. We had the mandatory chips & salsa to start, chicken fajitas (huge portions) and deep fried ice cream for dessert. This was the best mexican meal I’ve ever had.
We waddled out of the restaurant and made our way back to the hotel for a little rest before catching a movie. We went and saw Two For The Money starring Al Pacino and Matthew McConaughey. Wait for the movie to hit video stores.
