Weekend in Taos

 We had planned to spend some time in Taos with Stephen's parents during the Veterans Day long weekend, but sadly, they were unable to travel to NM.  We decided to make the best of the situation and stay at the LaFonda on the plaza for two nights, and to get tickets to the Taos Jazz Festival for Saturday.  

We walked around Taos, did some shopping, had fabulous meals, and visited the quirky but interesting Governor Bent Museum.

On Saturday, we went to the jazz festival and saw saxophonist/vocalist Grace Kelly.  What a performer!  She played, danced, sang, and had an amazing backup band as well.  Very entertaining!

Unfortunately, I woke up in the middle of the night with chills and a fever that ultimately proved to be covid, so we packed up early Sunday morning and went home, hopefully without spreading it to anyone else.  Except for Stephen, who tested positive a couple of days later, and was sicker (and for longer) than I.  That prompted my parents to cancel their planned Thanksgiving trip to NM, so instead of hosting all the parents in November, we hosted none of the parents, much to our dismay.  It's hard to believe that covid is still disrupting our lives after three and a half years.
