WMWA Photo Album
Trip to Santa Fe and Taos:  10/9 - 10/12/08

 

The photos in this album were taken on a trip to Santa Fe and Taos starting on October 9, 2008.  The group consisted of thirteen members from Link 8 and two from Link 10.  Due to chilly and wet weather, we did not visit Canyon Rd. to see the galleries and incredible outdoor works of art.  We'll start with Canyon Rd. on our next visit!
