We had another leisurely breakfast this morning outside. It’s great to wake up to 68 degree dry air and cook and eat a meal outside. This morning it was pancakes. Then we got cleaned up and packed up the trailer and drove in to town (Santa Fe). We went to an artisan’s fair and farmers’ market where we planned to refresh our fresh fruits and vegetables. We were quickly reminded of how spoiled we are in California where the farmers’ markets bring a huge variety of produce. In Santa Fe there was very little variety. Mostly different varieties of peas. We ate lunch at the market and then drove most of the way to Taos, but stopped about 15 miles short at the take out for our white water rafting trip. We were then bussed up to the put-in. We had a 6 mile float. It was class 2 and 3 rapids. After a couple of years ago on the Gallatin everything else doesn’t get our kids too excited, but we all had fun. And Maddie had never been white water rafting and she really enjoyed it. The air was about 92 and the water was 58. Perfect for rafting. We were done around 5:00, changed and drove to our RV Park in Taos. It’s not bad for an RV park, but we still don’t really like them. But it’s convenient: right in the middle of town and full hookups. Maddie really wanted pizza, so rather than cook we went out looking for Italian food. We passed up lots of good looking Mexican restaurants and eventually found a place in the main plaza that was pretty good. They didn’t have pizza, but Maddie was happy with her selection. Now we’re settling in. Tomorrow we have breakfast with my Dad’s sister, Phynix.
