Alamosa, CO - Day 2

It has been a full day-we both woke at 2 am unable to go back to sleep so we drank a pot of coffee, checked blogs of friends and then went back to sleep at 4 am and woke again at 8 am. Love being able to change up sleep patterns.

I visited my friend, Salai at the library and we went to lunch at the Thai House, a new restaurant in town. It was fabulous. I've never eaten any Thai food before, but it was good. I had Green Curry which was sweet from coconut milk with chicken and eggplant. Very interesting. Then we went to enjoy touching hand dyed yarn....luscious. That was fun. Had to see another friend at her flower shop. Oh, yes, and have a piece of fudge that she also sells at her shop. Yummo-o-o

By then it was time to get back to the library where I was happy to pick up a few books to read. It is so nice to be at a place where you can use a library card and read books you really have waited to read, and not just pick from available paperbacks from an rv park. I've been keeping a list of favorite authors and now I can read their latest offerings. Yipp-p-p-e-e-e

I finished my running around by visiting my friend, Naomi, in the nursing home.

It's good to be back. Remember, you are loved!

Back to Alamosa

We took off from Albuquerque about 9 am and headed north towards Alamosa. But we had to stop at the Chevron station in Espanola to see if they had an extra dozen tamales. They DID!!! They get these tamale from the La Parasol restaurant in town and they are the bomb. They use a thin coating of masa with pork and red chile spices. We bought a dozen for $17 and then bought four singles and ate them in the car.


Well, we made it back "home" to Alamosa, Colorado, today at 1 pm. The sight of Mt. Blanca sure was nice to see. Notice it is covered with snow? Ugh!!!

I immediately went to the nursing home to visit my 93 year old girl friend, Naomi. Although she knew I was going to back in town early April, she didn't know exactly when....we'll neither did we! We had a nice long visit while Jim parked the rig at his brothers "toy box" garage out of town.

We have full hookups here, so we call it Chapman's Campground. While I visited Naomi, Jim washed the rig to get as it was looking pretty rough from the road grime since Boerne, Texas, and all the wind we have had since then on the road.

It's nice to be back "home" and see friends, tour the town and see all the changes and be with family again.

Remember, you are loved.
