Earthship

The place we stayed at in Taos was an "Earthship," which is a term for a weird looking smurf house that is half buried underground, mostly solar heated, runs on solar panels and does water collection and waste composting on site. There were banana plants growing inside while it was around freezing temps outside. It was a bit humid inside, but not enough to bother us. Contrary to what the name might suggest, an Earthship cannot move, though in appearance it looks ready to fly off with the aliens next time they visit Roswell.

Ready for the apocalypse or alien invasion.

Is this where we go in?

Watch out!
