Mom came at the perfect time. The weather was beautiful, in the 80s and all the cacti were in bloom. They all have different colors that are very vibrant.
On Saturday we went to the market in Las Cruces and then to Mesilla, a little town next to Las Cruces. These two cities are only 30 minutes from El Paso and the markets there are incredible!! We found some pottery to take home that was gorgeous. There is so much to look at it is visual overload, but in a good way.
We ate at La Posta, a famous restaraunt in Mesilla that serves the best Margaritas around. They even have live paraketes that mauk you as you walk by.
New Mexico has a lot of crazy statues and art pieces that depict the culture here.
We went to a little house where a man was selling his salsas. He was from New Mexico and had lots of stories to tell about his relatives. His grandpa even had a run in with Pancho Vialla and was one of the few to survive a run in. Some of the biggest Salsa producers such as pace and La Victoria tried to buy him out but he has resisted and no salsa compares to his recipe!!
