This was really the last day of our big adventure with Aaron in the southwest. By the end of the day we had to find Aaron a good home and say our goodbyes. We had a late start to the day and stopped by a coffee shop so that Aaron could catch up on his emails. He had made so many friends on this trip and was still dizzy with excitement with regard to the places he had been and what he had seen. And yes Lori, he did have enough underwear to last the whole trip.
We headed up to the Millicent Rogers museum. It was a small museum that housed a variety of Indian art and jewelry pieces collected by Ms. Rogers. After the museum visit, Jim and Cris headed to the post office to lessen the suitcase load for the trip back. We returned from the post office and Jim had a nap. While Jim was napping, Cris headed out to finish up some last-minute shopping.
You might recall that a couple with a condo in Santa Fe wanted Aaron at the end of the trip. We did pass though Santa Fe but Aaron really wanted to go to Taos. We listened to Aaron and kept him with us the last three days. Now we had a dilemma, how do we get Aaron to his new friends? Well timing and distance kept us from meeting up with Coral and Michelle. We called the couple from Santa Fe mid afternoon to try and arrange a meeting point somewhere between Taos and Santa Fe. We were heading north, they were an hour south. After some discussion and difficult choices we decide that Aaron should stay at Ogilvie's. If you’re in Taos do stop by and see Aaron, let them know you heard about it at Puttyworld.
Escorting Aaron to Ogilvie’s we stopped along the way to take some photos in the main Taos square. A young girl assisted with this effort, and of course, received some putty. Arriving at Oglevie’s we spoke to the manager, who agreed to let Aaron stay. After some discussion we said our goodbyes and left.
We walked just down road to Graham’s Grille, where we had decided to have dinner. It was a great place, with an interesting menu and a mod décor. We sat beside a couple from New Jersey who shared some of their experiences with home sharing, their travels, and stories of their grandkids. At the end of the meal, we provided putty samples to the couple from New Jersey and to our waitress. On the way back to the Jeep, Jim introduced himself to a man and his niece from South Dakota and Chicago, respectively. All welcomed the gift and the idea of fun that came with it.
This is my first time i visit here. I had a great time reading this.
