because I liked it, the galleries, the atmosphere, and, I guess the "chichi" too.

I did stop in Madrid and bought a turquoise ring, but from what I could see,

it was very small, like only one street with restaurants and such, but I do take your point about seeing

other areas of the State as well.

Is Taos considered "Adobe Disneyland" too?....

As for living there, we probably would not do it permanently -- maybe winters, if we could afford

to rent a condo, or something. I know the winters aren't really "warm" there, but

but I'm sure they're warmer and sunnier than those in Chicago.

You said your health is bad...I'm sorry to hear it, mine isn't great, (bad arthritis) but I'm getting

a double knee replacement this year, since I'm all but lame. Beyond that, I have Crohns,

but it's mild.

What are your issues, if you don't mind my asking?...Anything a DUer could help with or at least

offer sincere sympathies for?....I do hope you at least have friends and family

around you for moral and any other kind of support you need.
