Currently in Taos NM – got her early this afternoon – for 7 nights. We had such a good time here last year that we’re repeating. Gary has a buddy here so I’m anticipating some personal time while they go hiking. (Cross your fingers for me!) It’s a town full of culture and history and art and entertainment and good food.
