This weekend was wonderful. We are really not big activity people, so while Ruidoso is having a slow tourism year because of a lack of snow, and therefore, a lack of ski tourists, we were not there for the skiing, but more for the wandering around in weird little shops and eating. Some day I'll tell you some stories about why I don't go for high-risk sports. (Or low-risk sports for that matter.) But for now, photos from our trip.

Dan getting ready to dig into the room service breakfast I mentioned in my earlier post. It was excellent.

Me on the balcony of our hotel room overlooking Mescalero Lake at the Inn of the Mountain Gods.

Dan goofing off in front of the same magnificent view.

In Ruidoso, we went into this candy store that had ... well, lots of candy. Dan got strawberry ice cream and I bought two pecan turtles. Mmmmm.

The following two photos were taken in front of a store that for some reason, had lots of statues. I don't really know what they sold, because we didn't go in, having no need for a giant-sized statue of a chicken, but we did take some photos. Here is Dan with a baby dinosaur.

Me and two knights in shining armor. One inexplicably shorter than the other.

There are lots of other photos, but I'm tired and I need to go to sleep so that the Daylight Savings Time wallop doesn't render me completely useless tomorrow. Have a good brand new week. Thank you for the kind wishes for our early anniversary, and I'll post more photos soon.
