My wife and I purchased a partially built home just outside of Taos, New Mexico, 19 years ago. We have been finishing it little by little through the years. We are 'off grid' with solar electric, and water catchment. We are there about 3 x a year for a couple of weeks at a time. It's always hard to leave. New Mexico truly is the 'Land of Enchantment'. I fell in love with New Mexico back in the early 80's, and hope to retire there in the next year.

Have you read any of Tony Hillerman's books? I've been reading the Tony Hillerman's series. They are easy reads and full of information about NM and the Indigenous cultures throughout the state. And they are really good mysteries! Also the books by Mable Dodge Luhan: "Winter in Taos", Edge of Taos Desert, and Mabel Dodge Luhan and Company, Rudnick & Wilson-Powell.

You probably have read them, but it's always exciting when I run into another NM fan!
