The Incredible Lightness of Taos
by Bruce Burnett

"For art to exist," wrote Nietzsche, "for any sort of aesthetic activity or perception to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication."

But not necessarily intoxication of the alcoholic kind, which may or may not have stirred the muse of such great writers as Dylan Thomas, Ring Lardner and Malcolm Lowry.

There is, now, one shuttle service that connects Taos, New Mexico and Albuquerque Sunport. That airport shuttle service is Twin Hearts Express & Transportation. Faust's Transportation & Tours no longer offers Albuquerque to Taos airport shuttle service. Here's some information about Twin Hearts.

By taking the airport shuttle you will be greeted with interesting scenery and will feel yourself surrounded by the quaint, earthy, relaxing life-style of Northern New Mexico. The airport shuttle takes you north on highways near the Rio Grande River through, Cochiti, Santa Fe, Espanola.

Soon after you pass Espanola and the Santa Clara Pueblo's casino, you reach Velarde and pass into The Rio Grande Gorge where you travel the winding two-lane road beside the Rio Grande River. After some time in the gorge passing through towns like Rinconada, Embudo, Dixon and Pilar, the highway rises out of the gorge and you are greeted by the marvelous site of Taos town above the gorge with sacred Taos Mountain in the distance.

"Taos - Soul of the Southwest" Video (3min 4sec) with Lou Kohl Morgan takes you on a tour of Taos and what makes it special to each of us here. Visit Taos Pueblo, Taos Plaza, Taos Canyon, Taos Ski Valley, and a whole bunch of other places in Taos.

"Welcome to Taos, The Soul of the Southwest. Taos is a place..., a reasonably small town in northern New Mexico. People come here today to visit the numerous art galleries, see the Taos Pueblo - the Taos Pueblo dates back one thousands years or more, the old Saint Francis de Asis church in Ranchos de Taos, the Rio Grande Gorge, and to simply enjoy the special feeling of getting away from the usual and the norm.
