Luckily it seemed to be healing well and a bit faster than expected. But seriously! Not like there's good timing, but this certainly wasn't it.

I am glad that we had a nice trip. I hope to maybe stay in touch, at least vaguely, with some of the extended family. Or maybe have a chance to head back to NM for a regular vacation at some point, rather than a very quick and very purposeful thing. (The food is so good! Even as a wimpy white girl when it comes to spicy things, I love green chile.)

And thank you! There were some stunning landscapes along the way, both in NM and CO.

Dramatic readings of pretentious restaurant blurbs and dish descriptions is an A+ hotel pastime, haha.
