From Mesa Verde we decided to go to Taos, where Mats had been before and remember it as an old charming city with a lot of genuine stores selling indian made art .
It is still a charming place with a lot of atmosphere, but you get a feeling that a lot of hippies fell in love with the place and have stayed there and are now driving much of the business.
The shops with indian art are way to "touristic" for our taste.

We are still happy that we visited Taos, it is a special place and it still has a lot of athmosphere.
Santa Fe
We arrived to Santa Fe in the evening, and stayed over night in very nice camping in the Santa Fe forest just 15 minutes drive from town. Santa Fe was just like Mats remembered it. 
Santa Fe is friendly, charming and with a lot of genuine native culture.
In the main square native craftmen (and women) sell their work. There are really a lot of beautiful things, and we took the opportunity to buy some gifts.
Los Alamos
After Santa Fe we went to Los Alamos, where Mats spent some time 40 years ago. The mission was to find the school (Los Alamos Junior High School) and the house we lived in. It was 50% successful - we found the school, but unfortunately we had the wrong address for the house. After a nice chat with one of the teachers, we continued to Bandelier National Park.
