Breakfast in a Ghost Town


It is week eight out of twelve. I'm walking to my location bright and early on a Monday morning. As I'm walking into Taos  it looks and feels like a ghost town. Everyone that is inside has the usual Monday zombie look on their face. You can clearly tell people have had a long weekend. I on the other hand am not a morning person. Which is surprising that I'm awake and writing this

The few students that I do see walk into Taos head straight to the coffee station. I would assume they didn't get enough sleep the night before. I have come to the conclusion that students don't care about what they wear early in the morning. It honestly doesn't matter but they seem to have just rolled out of bed.

Unlike the students the staff is wide awake and making sure everything is running smoothly. Some are cleaning tables others are restocking the stations. The busiest people in Taos are the ones working at the omelet/ burrito station. They haven't taken a break the entire time that I have been sitting inside.
 
Unfortunately it is time for me to go, until next week...
