We're in Taos. We arrived in Santa Fe on Tuesday afternoon and checked into the Inn at the Loretto. Beautiful lobby and pool but the rooms are a bit faded and the bath amenities smell like bubble gum. We met Kent, Bob and Rob Lang at Senor Lucky's for dinner, then we joined the boys across the street at a big party being held to celebrate some community Awards Ceremony, which had just let out. Everyone was there, the mayor and all the local celebrities. In fact it seemed like the whole town was there, I don't know who was actually working and who was a guest. Left there, home to bed.
Wednesday after breakfast at Pasqual's we drove up here and checked into our beloved Monte Sagrado spa. It's the first time we've been here this time of year and everything is so lush and green. Last night there was a very dramatic thunderstorm and around 830 Hector and I were stunned by a nuclear flash of light, an incredibly loud crack and for a few seconds the air was sizzling and our hair was standing up. Lightning had struck a huge cottonwood tree right out back in the Sacred Circle. It split a seam 35 feet long from the ground up and threw scraps of kindling 50 yards away. I just spoke to another guest who was outside when it happened and it threw him to the ground and broke his camera. So we got our money's worth this trip.
Hector is currently being massaged and facialed. I'm getting a massage from Alex at 3.
