An Afternoon at Taos, NM

We had a nice time today in Taos. We started by having a nice lunch at Orlandos.

Address: 1114 Don Juan Valdez Ln, El Prado, Taos

Afterward we went shopping around Town.

We thought of our friend Bill Smith with this artist's exhibit

The Shops were enchanting, mixed among the flowers and the walls

At times, I felt like I was in Mexico

The flowers were absolutely beautiful, that's Jim walking ahead

The shops were nestled down among the flowers and shrubs and water features

So nice. Taos knows how to make it beautiful!

Different Chimes

The skies darkened, and it made us feel right at home, back in Florida....

Kicking back in Angel Fire RV Resort for the next 3 weeks or so. Walking Tucker today, I took pictures of my views, and our sign that we were able to put up (we usually move too much to bother putting the sign up at all). We got that sign down in Mission, TX, a few years ago now. They have a walking path that is 9/10 of a mile and I walk Tucker, trying to get back into shape from a Summer of no Pickleball. Here, they have 2 courts, and Jim and I have played every day since we arrived. We are getting better every time. But the altitude is 8,500 feet, and we find ourselves panting, from lack of oxygen and taking hits of the canisters, that they sell in the office. We keep on playing though! It has rained almost every afternoon since we arrived last Thursday. I see it is starting to gather the rain clouds again today. It is usually in the 70's by daylight, and drops down to 45-50 overnight. Perfect!
