36th anniversary

Today we went back down to Palomas, Mexico. We were going to go to Red Lobster, but after having such a wonderful meal yesterday we went back today. I got my teeth cleaned ($40) and was happy that he did not find any other problems.  Than we went back to the “Casa de Pancho Villa restaurant and bar” for lunch and more shopping.

The food, again, was among the best Mexican food we have ever had. The chips and salsa that are served in most Mexican restaurants was just superb here. Yesterday we bought a quart of the sauce to bring back($3.50)

Here are a few shots of the restaurant and shop, lots of thing to look at and/or buy, and we did buy some. I bought two new drink glasses that are made from glass with impurities so they have bubbles and other things in the glass. Today Linda bought a table piece out of hand decorated, double fired porcelain. The store is huge and full from floor to ceiling with “stuff”, some of it very nice. The glass and porcelain work is in most cases extremely well done.

Columbus, NM is across the border from Palomas and is famous for a raid that Pancho Villa made on the USA around 1911

read about it if you are interested.

On the way back,the wind was blowing again, stronger than normal. We were about 15 miles south of Deming and saw the dust across the road and an emergency vehicle was on the side of the road with its lights flashing. We did slow down and put our headlights on before entering the dust. it was a little bit eerie, but only lasted for about a mile

hope  you are enjoying the new blog format. It is better that sending out an email, we think.

What about you??????

love to all of you

and happy 36th anniversary to us

Jim and Linda
