Storrie Lake State Park, Las Vegas, NM; May 28-29, 2013

Thank goodness we were only here for two nights on our way to Colorado! YUCK. The park was stark, as much of New Mexico is, but the sites were very small and the sites with electricity were literally jammed so close together our slides would just barely open. Many of the clientele were long-term residents and reminded us

Abraham's Tamales - YUM!

We did go to downtown Las Vegas – me to do laundry and Rich to try to find a shop that could repair the chip in our windshield. Although no one could fix the chip, we did have some wonderful tacos and dessert empanadas at a little hole-in-the-wall place called Abraham’s Tamales. The town is very small and many stores are empty but they are making a real effort to keep businesses in the beautiful old buildings.One of the businesses we stopped at was Abrahams Tiendata where we got some wonderful tacos and even better fruit filled empanadas. That alone was worth the trip. We also got a chuckle out of the name of a bookstore there - Tome on the Range...
We both were a bit sad to leave New Mexico - we've had a wonderful time here and there are so many more places we want to visit and explore. Next year, we plan on staying lots longer!

Now, it's on to Colorado!
