2/19 Friday

We had another look at downtown Alamosa today - did a bit of walking around and discovered the local bookstore.  We also stopped at the hardware store on the main strip and bought a rope so we could secure the gate.  The dogs had let themselves out again this morning.  We took a ride out of town and took a picture of our first Recreational Marijuana store and no, we didn't stop in for samples!  Speaking of pictures, we discovered that we left the conversion link needed to connect the camera to the iPad so I ordered one from Amazon and it will be delivered on Monday - so I will keep taking pix, but you will have to wait to see them.  Tonight we are attending a fund-raising dinner/auction at the local hospital for Habitat.  We were hoping that Louise could come with us, but by the time she gets out of work, it would be too late.  She has Saturday, Sunday and Monday off so we will do some sight-seeing this weekend.  Tomorrow we are headed to Monte Vista, which is where she lived until this last December.  She also said something about hiking on the Spanish Trail.  I hope that Sunday we can go to the National Sand Dunes, they sound spectacular.
