I am at my sisters in New Mexico with my friend from Tulsa. Got here Tues.
On Wed we headed to Las Vegas (New Mexico, not Nevada). We were looking for a resort with hot springs. We found the resort was now a private international high school that still allowed people to use the springs and we gamely put on our suits at the visitors center and headed out there. Turned out to be a disappointment. The hot mineral water was held in mud and gravel bottomed holes that had concrete around them. There were maybe 6 or 8 holes spread out with uneven ground, grass and mud around them. I managed to sink my foot in the mud up to my ankle and my friend had to rescue me. When we finally got in the water was verey warm and felt really great. These hot springs are supposed to be therapeutic. Dont know about that but it was a hoot.
On Thursday we drove up to Taos. Lots of tourist shopping, primarily indian goods. Let the spending begin. We also drove up to the ski village but it was desserted and everything was closed. Beautiful scenery and my friend used to ski there so she enjoyed seeing how it had changed.
Today we went to Santa Fe. Visited a church with a staircase built with no supports and no nails. Is considered miraculous. The oldest church in the US is in Santa Fe and we took pictures. This was followed by more shopping, picture taking, lunch and more shopping and then more shopping. WE had dinner at Olive Garden and then home.
I have been calling home a couple of times a day and my sister tells me Cowboy is eating and doing OK. She told yesterday he had not taken a bath and told she has got to insisit he do so. This morning he finally did.
