Thanks for your welcoming comments, Hive account@stortebeker. Glad to know of your interest in permaculture and green building! The earthships outside of Taos are interesting. I visited Dennis Weaver's earthship in Ridgeway, CO, years ago. It was interesting watching worshipful petitioners grovel around him!
I love Mexico. Almost settled there a few years ago, then flipped and ended up here. I was mostly in some mountain villages in Oaxaca (and in Oaxaca City, which I enjoyed). I'm missing the paisano cultures of the different countries visited in my five years of travel. The !BEER!
