A Memorable Memorial Day Weekend

The big snowfall last Christmas prevented us from making our planned trip to Jemez Springs to stay at a B&B there. We rescheduled it for Memorial Day weekend, which later worked out to be the beginning of an awesome week-long vacation (more posts on that later). We stayed at Canon del Rio B&B, which we liked very much. We were also fortunate that our visit coincided with an art show and powwow at nearby Jemez Pueblo. We now happily display a piece of storyteller pottery made by the sister of one of Brendan's co-workers. I also bought a unique ring by an artist in Jemez Springs. Highlights of the weekend: a hike to the East Fork Jemez River (I took no pictures but it was quite an adventure), my mineral soak and massage at Jemez Springs Bath House, and the FOOD. We had a wonderful dinner Saturday night at old fave The Laughing Lizard, and thoroughly enjoyed the food at the Pueblo, especially the prune pies!
