They are made from stuff like tires, aluminum cans and bottles. Is that cool or what? Oh, and the best part of all - you can rent them for vacation in Taos and ONE of them even allows pets! The nice lady at Earthship explained that the reason they only rent that one has something to do with planters that are built into the house and close to the floor. Apparently some of us dogs are irresistably attracted to them and like to dig and uh, do other stuff to them. But, one of the houses is made differently and is safe for (and from) doggies. Yayyy! Bet you never stayed anywhere this cool before!

Hey, Melanie - if you're reading - did we do good?
BTW, does eating guacamole count as "going green?"

Those are pretty crazy. I wonder what they look like on the inside...
Those houses are so beautiful - especially because of their uniqueness!

Hi, many thanks for dropping by. It seems you all have a very interesting life and you've been to so many interesting places. We're so glad that you found us so we can know about you too.
Thanks for stopping by everyone! We thought these houses were way cool, too. We give a PAWS UP! to Earthship for building 'em and for even letting doggies stay in one of the rentals. Now, that would be a great vacation!
