Albuquerque and Taos

We are crashing in my sister Barb's house with the great sunset views while making a few side trips. We toured old town and had a great lunch in the restaurant High Noon with a little mandatory shopping thrown in.

After a yummy waffle breakfast we left for Taos. It was a two hour drive thru some pretty scenery. Things are extra green here because it is 'monsoon' season in NM. Not sure I would call the little bit of rain they get here a 'monsoon' but it is enough to turn the grounds into many different shades of green.

Barb made overnight reservations at the Historic Taos Inn and their Doc Martens Restaurant. We did the obligatory shopping around the square and then had dinner and played a strange trivia type of game. Margie and I won both times - it probably was because Margie has a Dr. in front of her name. Next day we went to the Taos Pueblo and the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge.
Last Day at my sisters was a slug day with a little packing thrown in.
