TravelerAnd how about that weather?🌞

Bonnie BenedictWe learned that rattlesnakes are very shy and, given a choice, will retreat. They shake their rattles when they’re scared. And, more people die from bee stings than rattlesnake bites. 😃

Huevos Rancheros for our first New Mexico breakfast with one of their famous cinnamon rolls for dessert.

An eclectic assortment of artwork adorns the old-school space, which seats more than 300 people in its five dining rooms.”Read more
