Friends

I've just had several friends visiting and it's been wonderful. First Alison from England, her first visit here. Her daughter had been here last summer. Then three friends from the last place I lived before moving back here to Taos, Winters, CA. Joan, Lisa and Sally. What fun amazing women. And it's interesting to see your town through others eyes, good and bad. But we all had a blast. We went to the Pueblo of course, Tony Reyna's Shop, Robert Mirabal's, the Earth Ship homes, the Gorge Bridge, a picnic on the Rio Grande, Arroyo Seco-had to shop at Francesca's! Beer and green chile cheeseburgers at the Adobe Bar while listening to an incredible band, and more shopping. And an adventure searching for a tiny piece of property in Tres Piedras over rutted dirt roads. Never found the exact spot but the scenery and views of the mountains were worth it.

The three stayed in Mabel's own room at the Inn, first time I really got to hang out there. Alison will stay there next time-the Taos Inn room she had wasn't as nice! Now they're all back home and hopefully planning their next trip here. Friends are great.
