Volume 14 - Day 190/175, 2022 - Saturday

The Farmers & Crafts Markets of Las Cruces features hundreds of vendors selling locally made foods, crafts, and produce. It is a great opportunity to experience the people and culture of the Mesilla Valley. Everything is produced in Dona Ana County, which is where Dan and Nancy live. The day started out with breakfast at a place called The Shed, and it was really good, obviously a place really popular with the locals. After breakfast, we went to the Market covering about ten blocks or so on Main Street. I got a baseball cap (required), a couple t-shirts, and a fabulous button down shirt with a Dia De Los Muertos theme. After the Market, we did a little sight seeing and got closer the mountain ranges. Then it was back to the house for naps, Yahtzee and thunder and rain. RAIN. If you can't get rain in Texas, go to where the rain is. It rained (unexpectedly) for about thirty minutes, and it was interesting to see that it can still happen somewhere. Nancy made a delicious rib dinner, and now we are all chilling out watching tv. Back to Austin tomorrow.
