Casa San Ysidro: The Gutiérrez / Minge House in Corrales

It's interesting how scarcity of metal drove Spanish/Mexican furniture construction.  A pressing consideration!

Skater Dude

You see lots of descansos in New Mexico, but this one struck me: "Skater Dude." This is in Bernalillo, just east of the railroad (the black bar across the top of the photo is a rail). Skater Dude died young, and his memorial is well-maintained.

Returned From New Mexico
