Is that the chapel in the background? The oldest building in the US.


Yes. I learned the other day it was built in 1782* which makes it the
oldest building in California but certainly there is something on the east
coast that is older.

Possibly so. This church from near my home in VA. I was not thinking
correctly when I said US I meant California. Then so many have been
reconsturcted so who really knows.

I spent a few weeks here in 1963. In the outskirts of the town of Taos
not the Pueblo
