3rd day of my trip in new mexico...

today went 2 taos, the edrive their was really beautiful, there were so many mountains...it was really great. there was 1 problem w/the drive though, the roads were very narrow and we were up super high and were almost as tall as some of the mountains! now this would've been great (besides the fact that my ears were popping) but the side of the road did not have any rail at all, so if the car had gotten out of control or we accidently turned 2 much 2 the right, we would have basically fallen off a cliff and we'd all most likely be dead. later on in the drive they finally had rails, but they were really small and would only keep u from falling if u were going slow enough. needless 2 say i was scared the entire ride pretty much.

when we did get 2 taos it was really cute, their were tons of little shops and while my dad went 2 art galleries, my sister, mom, and i went 2 most of them. when we had been shopping 4 awhile we met back up w/my dad and went 2 this coffe cart and we all got something 2 hold us over until lunch (i got a mango smoothie and it was delicous!)while we sat on the bench there were 2 women who were singing and they had the cutest dog ever, 1 lady put the dog inside the guitar case and lets just say that got themalot more $! they were good singers but the dog was just so cute...my advice 2 them is 2 always bring their dog!

after that we wnt 2 a few more stores, this 1 we wnt 2 was really adorable, i tried on some sunglasses i wS thinking about getting and then brought them upstairs w/me, once i was up there i decided 2 try on this dress and put the sunglasses on the bench. while i was getting changed a little girl knocked them over and my mom said something along the lines of "its fine, their my daughters". soon after that we made our purchases and went on 2 the next store, it was a nicle little store 2, we each bought something, when my mom was getting out money, she found the sunglasses i had tried on at the other store! when we left the store my mom noticed that she still had on a bracelet that she had tried on, no harm done though, i was
able 2 slip inside and put it back w/out anyone noticing.then we rushed back over 2 the other store any explained 2 the women that we thought the little girl had put it in my moms purse, trying 2 be helpful, because my mom had said it was mine, the owner of the store was so nice about it, my mom and i were both relieved. so then we decided that it was about time 2 go home. so at the end of the day my mom and i had both accidently shoplifted.
