Flag of United States  , New Mexico,
Wednesday, March 1, 2006

I woke up to the sound of rattling in the kitchen through the thin walls at 6 a.m. The resident Mississippian decided to make beignets for everyone. Never having tasted the real thing, I was happy to oblige as the first taster. I quickly finished off my chore, then convinced the German/New Yorker/cook/environmentalist and the Canadian freelance writer to join me for breakfast at the Church Street Cafe. It was my last chance for some good New Mexican fare so I opted for the Huevos Rancheros with my chile Christmas (getting into the local lingo: a mix of both red and green chile) which I polished off with gusto while listening to the server telling us about the house being haunted.

A quick tour of the old town square and the University of New Mexico site and then it was time to head off to the airport.

It was a great 8 days--a good mix of city life, culture, interesting cuisine, history. It was a trip to a foreign world yet still within the borders of the U.S. of A. I even got a chance to brush up a bit on my Spanish here!
