Getting our "mountain legs"

Sunday, March 9, 2014

Today, we decided to just take it easy and get used to the altitude, catch up on sleep and relax a bit after the long drive yesterday.

Frosty truck! View out the rear window.

Our site at the Circle B.

We lounged around a bit in the morning, then headed out for lunch to explore and run errands.

We drove through town see what looked new and what had not changed. Many of the older buildings looked like they had been spruced up with paint or new facades. Some things were gone, but other things were new. Things looked like the economy is picking up for Ruidoso.

Look! Snow on the Sierra Blanca Mountains!

After running from one end of town to the other, we headed back and stopped at Starbucks. We have a number of gift cards and we don't drink coffee, so Tony suggested we get some breakfast pastries, instead. So he went in and picked out a few.

We then went to eat at our favorite BBQ place, Circle J BBQ. Unfortunately the BBQ was not as good as it has been in the past.... But the apple cobbler was very good!

After lunch we headed to WalMart to get a few things, like meat and bread, and sunscreen which I forgot. The WalMart here is smaller than ours, but they had all we needed. Tony got some good looking steaks to grill!

We headed home, and I decided a nap was in order, since I didn't sleep well the first night we were here.

After that, I did some Hairball Creative work, while Tony set up the grill to cook the steaks. We had a great meal, then went for a walk around the park.

The evening was spent working and watching some of the great shows we like on History channel, like Counting Cars and American Restoration.

Walking around the park.

Tomorrow, we ski!
