The moon went down...




The Adam's family stopped by mid-move from Tulsa Oklahoma to Bend Oregon.
The move was taken in an 80's Toyota van stacked to the gills with the items they
felt fit to keep. It was nice to get to know their two boys, Eliot and Ettien. Drinking the best happy hour
margarita's and wondering around the streets of Santa Fe. We spent a few hours in the Plaza on Wednesday
taking in the scene, when we all saw a real life taco stand, and not just any taco stand, the most well known
and loved taco stand in all of Santa Fe- They make a huge carne asada that we all shared, it tasted wonderful,
but I ate only a small bite thinking I would save room for a frito pie at the five and dime. I never had the frito pie
but my sparing consumption of the street taco saved my insides from the night of hell faced by Esther, Ryan and Ceiara... Vile, vile sickness struck the casita, sharing one small bathroom, sleeping only the minutes of quiet between the sick, sick bathroom noise. The illness reached into all of Thursday...the Adam's family left last night and Esther finally rested.

My birthday post coming soon...

dispatch Santa Fe



Vacation starts now.

We rented a little casita a few blocks off the Plaza, with cow skulls, blue tile, plaster walls and all.
It's old (1950's) but well kept and updated- should be posting photos of the casita and
the rest of Santa Fe soon. Now a quick list of a few things we want to do while on vacation:

1) Sleep
2) Tandem bike ride down canyon road
3) Write
4) Eat green chillies
5) Eat red chillies
6) Shop for turquoise man rings
7) Read some Edward Abbey
8) Spa day
9) White water raft
10) Drink an entire pot of coffee every morning
