Taos and a Deer


A trip to Taos, New Mexico to pick up a special order for my friend Matt-- he drove. And we had an excellent Mexican dinner at Michael's Kitchen. Authentic, fresh, and excellent service. It made all of its baked goods fresh-- breads, and most importantly, sopapillas (fried dough Mexican things you put honey on).


It wouldn't be Taos without a Wal-Mart fashion show. They always have something ridiculous to try on. Henry, on the far left, hadn't been away from Philmont all summer. He's from Erie too. We showed him around town and stopped by the Rio Grande Gorge bridge. Too dark for good pictures.


On the way home, the four of us stopped at the New Mexico State Vietnam War Memorial before heading back to Philmont. Moments later, we hit a deer as it tried to turn back and run away. The buck scampered off, but the right front fender of the car was smashed up pretty good. We were all fine. What an unpleasant surprise.
