Margaritaville of New Mexico

Friday February 17th
Well, for a place that is supposed to have 355 days of sunshine, we just happened to hit upon a n overcast day with some intermittent rain. It was pretty chilly when we got up; if we could have seen the Organ Mountains to the north, we would have seen new snow on them. First item of business was to get the rent paid so I went over to the office and got that taken care of and then sat in the lounge with my notebook and took care of some emails. The wi-fi works a little better over there but still not very fast.
I asked the folks at the office where we could find an Orthopedic clinic and they sent me to one about six blocks away although I had to drive by it three times before I found it. Once there I explained to the lady at the appointment desk that we wanted a cast removed, we had a DVD with x-ray pictures and once I had their FAX number I could have additional records faxed to them from Sheboygan. They would not set up an appointment until they had the records. Then I called the Sheboygan Clinic and asked them to fax the records, and that’s all that got done today towards getting Cathey’s cast removed.
Went to a Mexican restaurant in Mesilla for a late lunch. The food was great but we both had gas problems later. About 4pm we went over to the main building to do laundry and once we got the clothes loaded I went out to the lobby area with the laptop again. About 4:30 they set up a cart with margaritas and a few minutes later people started filtering in for the free booze. I had to get up out of my chair for the first one but after that they kept coming around with refills. After the third one, I decided I had better tend to the laundry and escaped. Cathey didn’t follow my lead so she had to walk home by herself. But she did meet some nice people from Puyallup, WA.
Later went out for pizza about a block away at a place called the Luna Rossa Winery and Pizzaria. The wine was over priced but pizza was good.
