I’m looking forward to getting on a plane tomorrow and heading for Chapel Hill! It’s in large part a conference for my job, but I want to eat Southern food, walk in the woods, enjoy its downtown bookshops and stores. Coming from New Mexico, I’ll enjoy all the greenness and moistnesss.
Worth visiting!
The cafe is now Tina’s Cafe, and I haven’t eaten there yet. I will have to try it. Lemitar is a village just off I-25 between Socorro and Albuquerque. I got off at the exit the other day and headed through Lemitar and a short distance toward the Rio Grande. I stopped at the Socorro Nature Preserve (which is closed) and walked through it to an irrigation channel and across that to some cottonwoods along the river. And I shot a photo of the river (and another of the irrigation channel). Lemitar is quite a pretty spot.
Worth visiting!
I stopped off in Reserve on Sunday, and it was a pleasant stop. I had a good lunch at Ella’s Cafe, got gas at a pump at the Emporium next door. and found everyone quite friendly. Ella’s has quite the collection of roosterania, and has Fox News broadcasting to keep you up to date even though you are miles and miles from anyplace where you might have to really worry about what’s happening.
