Trip to Hatch


Wednesday March 13th
We decided to drive up to Hatch today.  Hatch claims to be the chile capitol of the world.  We have a favorite restaurant there called the Pepper Pot; it's a breakfast and lunch place so we were lucky to get there before they closed for the day.  Had an excellent lunch and then shopped a little at the chile market across the street and bought a small bag of green chile powder.  The ride to Hatch follows the Rio Grande, but there is nothing too Grande about it now, there is no water flowing and only a puddle here and there.  I don't know if it's that dry here or if all the water is pulled off for irrigation up stream.  I think there was water in it last time we were here.  I imagine there will be more water when the snow in Colorado starts to melt.
