They were really looking forward to New Mexico's nicer weather compared to the Dutch winter but unfortunately we've been getting a lot of storms ourselves. They've shopping like crazy taking advantage of the euro to dollar premium. And we've cooked and eaten a lot (I know that comes as a shocker!).
We did get a number of hikes in. We even got the beloved Yak-trax for everyone so we could hike when we knew a snowfall was coming.
Here is AinA, Wife and FH on the La Luz Trail
You can see we were the first up the trail. Ahead of us are no foot prints!
The La Luz is the most popular trail in the Sandias and is always crowded.
But I took this picture when we came back.
When we arrived there were no cars there. That has never happened to me before.
Then we decide to do a quick afternoon and overnight trip to Taos up north.
Here's the crew in Town looking at the Sangre de Cristo Mountains
The next morning we went to the Rio Grande River Gorge

AinA and FH are going home tomorrow and we're going to miss them a lot.

Beautiful scenery!!
I'm glad you had such a wonderful visit.
Your Taos pictures reminded me that Aunt de-I and I also took a trip up there when I lived there. That was a fun trip.
Hiking in the snow looks like a very serene and beautiful experience! Nice that there weren't other people to get in your way :-)
we had such a wonderful visit, it was great to see you guys! Thanks a million times over for ferrying us around the whole time!
Sounds like a great time! It's beautiful out there, although it still seems odd to see snow in NM.
