On the way to Tucson, we had to make the obligatory stop in Hatch, NM. You know, the home of the chili. As we approached Hatch (and as we left town), there were fields and fields of chilis. You could see the chilis from the highway..... bright yellow, red, and green. It was really lovely.
Anyway, we stopped at couple of the small shops in Hatch. They definitely aren't very fancy, but we did come away with some fresh red chili powder. Judy O tells me that it is the best for cooking. And on Ron's recommendation, we got some of the green chili salsa. Haven't tried it as yet, but anything with green chili is more than fine with me!
Now that I've mentioned green chilis, I have to backtrack and tell you about dinner last night. Afterall, our trips DO seem to revolve around food! On Ron and Judy O's recommendation, we went to a place called Frank and Lupe's El Sombrero in Socorro. Oh. My. God. It was good! I had some chicken enchiladas that were covered in a creamy poblana sauce. Dang, I wanted to lick the plate ... they were THAT good. Fortunately, I was able to restrain myself a little and had some yummy leftovers for dinner tonite.
We traveled our obligatory 5 to 6 hours today and got to Tucson this afternoon. Our RV park is actually an RV resort. And I DO mean resort! It is HUGE, about 1200 spaces. And the spaces are really close together. And there is hardly a tree in sight. But the amenities are amazing..... 9 hole par 3 golf course, 3 swimming pools, library, ballroom, ceramics shop, wood shop, silver shop, lapidary shop, billiards room, poker room, fitness center, sewing room, market, bar, restaurant..... I could go on and on.
I think that we are really gonna like this place for the next 3 days!
Cheers,
Dr J
