Running Man and I
have been on a road trip
to Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico.
It's one of our favorite places to go
in the fall and is about a
7 hour drive south.

We stayed in two lovely casitas
which were part of

There was no drama
with our llamas
only a day full of fun.

Our hike took us
up in the mountains
where the aspens were pure gold
against the western blue sky.
Our 5 mile round trip
included a gourmet lunch
in a beautiful mountain meadow.
Everything was packed in by our new
sure footed friends.
When we got back
everyone was smiling,
Loki
Diego and Picchu
but especially,
Bucky.

What a fun Lama hike you took! Hope they did not spit you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures that bring back memories of when we visited! We loved the beautiful colors in New Mexico! Fall looks like a great time to visit!
What fun! I've always wanted to spend time in New Mexico, maybe on our next trip west. Beautiful country.

ReplyDeleteOur llama trip was through Wild Earth Llama Adventures. I would highly recommend the experience! http://www.llamaadventures.com/
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful trip! I particularly like that shot of the two llamas from the back. What are they looking at? The photo of the aspens is beautiful too. NM is still on my list of places to see!

ReplyDeleteEvery single photo made me want to take a road trip to New Mexico. You certainly know how to do a vacation the right way. The art, the food, the architecture, the culture, all the silver and turquoise, the llama trek and the casitas . . . that's what I call the perfect get away. I love the photo of you and Loki; that's one that I would frame and have as a memory :)
