What's the deal with men and masks in Taos? Kent Lewis on the pandemic response in his magical home. June, 2020

Story No. 20 from my roadtrip into the early pandemic

I landed in a magical little hotel in Taos called La Posada de Taos, where I decided to rest and recuperate after all my driving through panicked territories. One afternoon I had a fascinating conversation with Kent Lewis, who owns the hotel with his family. A dapper dresser, Lewis offers an interesting perspective on his adopted home, and why it’s a great place to raise a family, virus or not. He also gets to the heart of the matter regarding men and their fear of seeming afraid. Somehow, in Taos I always felt safe and secure. I’ve never been anywhere else with such beautiful “energy,” as the locals often say. And yes, I’m aware there are also a ton of problems in Taos.
