Our friends from last Tuesday

Left for Santa Fe today!
Then on to Albuquerque and Utah

The views from our site in Questa were really spectacular.

And there was a sweet little pond with ducks at the end of the campground.

In a past post from Antonito I talked about a fun group of RVers we met.  We caught up with Marty and Sue while they were staying in Taos and we were in Questa.  I got a recommendation for a restaurant in Taos and explained that we were meeting friends there.  Friends we met last Tuesday!

Marty and Sue are originally from Wheaton, IL but sold their house 2 years ago and full time in their Motorhome now.  It was fun to talk about life in Chicagoland complete with our Midwest accents!

They also told us that the rest of the Antonito gang was heading down to Taos and meeting for lunch. We joined them at the historic Taos Inn.  A portion of the current hotel was previously the home of Taos' first physician and his artist wife, Thomas and Helen Martin.  The couple continued to purchase buildings around their home to rent to artists.  Mrs. Martin bought additional adjacent to their home and opened a hotel in 1936 after her husband died.  It continues to thrive today!

The bar used to be the home owned by their neighbors, the Tarletons.

Our server took this fun shot of all us!  The umbrella gives us a nice red glow, huh?

And then I got one of him - I've forgotten his name, though.

We moved the party to the TreeHouse Bar on Bent Street, one of the oldest streets in Taos and named after the Governor Bent of the New Mexico Territory.  The bar has some cool furniture that the guys were enjoying.

After the Antonito folks headed back home, Marty, Sue, Johnny and I headed for one last beer at the Alley Cantina.  Johnny is a Happy Camper (name of the beer)!

Our friends from last Tuesday.  Hope you see you on down the road!
