A little roadtrip to Bosque del Apache yesterday finds us in Socorro this morning. We aren't exactly rabid birders but the Bosque is unique in that even midday we saw lots of snow geese and other waterfowl...then on to Fort Craig, the site of the Battle of Valverde. Now long abandoned, it sits alongside the Rio Grande and one can well imagine what it must have been like 150 years ago. We finished the day by gallery hopping in the historic district of Hot Springs, nearby Truth or Consequences. Today we're going to zoom into Albuquerque this morning to the square and take in whatever we can find there along with the art and history museum. Jim's still not had his onion and cheese enchiladas so I suspect either those or green chili burgers are on the lunch menu!
