Last week it was so hot in Houston one of my very conservative friends allowed “Al Gore might be right.” That is hot! So our thoughts turn to going to cooler places, like New Mexico. Here are a few photos from past trips.

We are looking forward to our trip in a few more weeks. Lots of shows coming up in August that we plan to attend and hope for some good book and art finds.

When you go, don’t by-pass Albuquerque in your haste to get to Santa Fe and Taos. Old Town is worth a visit and there are still some good book dealers as well.

We also got our opera tickets for The Marriage of Figaro. The opera house is in such a great setting it is worth a visit even if you are not into the opera. And we novice opera buff love the English translations in the seat backs.
