Mosaic Monday
We went to the little town of Madrid, NM on Saturday. It’s an old mining town that was abandoned when the mine shut down, and was then rediscovered in the 60s/70s by hippies and artists and bikers. It is on the Turquoise Trail that runs from Albuquerque to Santa Fe. It is now half artist colony/half roughneck and is totally fun. We ate at the Mine Shaft a biker bar/local watering hole. We had a great lunch, listened to a cool singer/songwriter, Katie locked herself in the stall of the bathroom (just to add a little excitement to our day!) and had a fabulous time before heading back to Burque and then off to a party. A full day indeed! BTW, Katie is being a sheep in the photo – not sure why!
Oh yes – and Madrid was featured in the movie Wild Hogs!!

Oh yes have heard of Madrid (Mad-rid) … in that … hog movie – can’t recall the full name, but a great movie and Madrid looks like a really quaint town. Love the mosaic!
Wow – this does sound like it would be a lot of fun. Love your mosaic – it tells the story of a great day spent together. Cute sheep.
Happy MM,

I’ve seen the Hog movie too, what a neat mosaic and a fun time you guys had.
Looks like a fun day! Stay warm!
