Taos - Saturday

Lots going on Saturday morning and we take it in. We start with Michael's Kitchen for breakfast -- a traditional favorite. Still haven't seen Julia Roberts or Donald Rumsfeld hanging out in the local eateries.

Then, El Pueblito church is having a benefit yard sale -- we help by buying a wicker picnic basket that may have belonged to Ginger Rogers, plus some books. Next it's the farmer's market downtown and the city library is having a book sale near by. We get some veggies, fruit, longhorn bratwurst, and a few more books.











After that we stroll through a few shops on and near the Plaza. Susie has an inspiration. Let's find some chips and guacamole for a snack -- it's approaching noon, but after our big breakfast, a snack is all we want. Turns out we're standing next to a deli/cafe and their menu shows guacamole and chips. Outside dining, too. Priceless.


There's also a car show in town, but we pass that up. Ditto for the county fair. Spend the afternoon in TuziTwo's air-conditioning. We have a bowl of green chile chicken stew for dinner at the historic Sagebrush Inn, pick up some Albertson's brownies for tomorrow's church potluck, and that's it for the evening.


For excitement, I climb on top of Tuzi for another sunset shot. (Living in Cedar Crest, on the east side of the mountains, we don't see colorful sunsets, so I guess that's the attraction here.)


We've decided to head home tomorrow afternoon after the church potluck. We've had a great and relaxing time in Taos.


Cheers,


Susie and Rob
