We spent several days with Barb and Dick, they were wonderful hosts.  We visited Bandelier National Monument, a ancient cliff dwelling.  We had a Margarita in the La Fonda Hotel near the Plaza in Santa Fe.  We had brunch at The Bishops Retreat a resort and spa in the mountains near Santa Fe.  Took a drive to Taos a well known ski area, and visited a old Catholic Church there.  We made a reistisa (sp) it is chili peppers hanging from twine, we have it hanging at our trailer.  Dick took us on a tour of the Black Mesa Winery where Dick is a winemaker.  We had a time drying to decide which wine we liked the best so we had to get a bottle of white and one of red and also a bottle of Black Beauty, it has a very definite chocolate flavour, I loved it.  Thanks for a great visit.
