Tuesday we fled Colorado due to weather, fires and smoke from fires. We went south to Santa Fe, NM and we encountered unbelievable wind!

Today we went to Albuquerque to visit our dear friends from Richmond. We had a very special lunch at Los Poblanos (aka Lavender Farm, LosPoblanos.com , a really great day, thanks again T & S. Since we cancelled all plans in…
