Ahhh . . just to get away

We decided to take a weekend off and disappear from the world (no computers, no cell phones . . .) We drove to Taos, New Mexico and stocked up on provisions to go camping and fishing.


First stop was licenses in town and asked a local where to buy the best tamales. Everyone said the same thing . . the guy in the red pickup of the Super Saver parking lot LOL (I didn't get a pic . . dang).




While we were waiting for him to show up, we went inside the grocery store and were delighted to find a tortilla machine cranking out fresh flour tortillas! (bought a dozen of those too). We bought a dozen tamales, half pork, half chicken & cheese and porked out eating tamales and fresh hot tortillas all the way up the mountain YUMMMMM


Before leaving town, we stopped and bought a ristra from the Chile Factory for our friends Lori & Ray who are back home watering our plants and checking on the livestock (thanks guys!) (she promised to cook something wonderful with them . . I am holding her to it!)


Taos is a gorgeous little town, flowers everywhere! I especially love the Hollyhocks, I've forgotton how much I like them and have decided to plant a patch when we get home.

There is art EVERYWHERE you look, gardens, rooftops . . even doors for sale at an importers store becomes art!


Tomorrow . . FISHING pics!
