Our second trip to New Mexico and back to our favorite casita and our favorite hosts/friends. We feel so welcome there and plan to make it an annual vacation spot. The casita is very special, with its cozy kitchen-totally stocked, large livingroom/dining room- with the wonderful New Mexican art, and the very large bedroom with its own sitting area. The patio is the perfect place to relax and the new patio renos by Marty are great. All the cactus in the back yard really make you realize you are a long way from Canada. Marty and Jill were kind enough to invite us to see their fabulous yard and home, so thanks for that girls. There are so many day road trips that we went on, including Lincoln (Billy the Kid country), Santa Fe Canyon Rd art galleries, Bandelier Nat Mon, Puye Cliff Dwellings, Acoma Pueblo Sky Country and The Turquoise Trail, to name a few. The scenery around Albuquerque is breathtaking, with all the colors of rock, so a drive in the country is a must - it certainly is a land of enchantment. As we look out the window at 7 feet of snow still in our yard, we wish we were back enjoying that great New Mexico sunshine and the company of our new friends Marty and Jill.
