Photo of the Month
NEW MEXICO STORM CLOUDS
This month we travel to my own backyard and one of my favorite travel destinations - New Mexico.
© Ellen Barone. Storm clouds, New MexicoA summer storm was brewing the evening I captured this image. Thunder rumbled while the hypnotic sky transformed minute-by-minute in color and form, as if someone was turning the dial on a virtual kaleidoscope. The photo doesn’t do it justice, but it felt like I’d been dropped down the Rabbit Hole in Alice in Wonderland.

Santa Fe Flavors
If there’s a town to experience food first, it’s Santa Fe, New Mexico. My husband and I just returned from a 3 week stay in the City Different and this new book by Santa Fean Anne Hillerman, was the perfect pocket-guide for our culinary explorations. Combining insider tips and chef’s favorite recipes, the little yellow book is genius in its simplicity and price ($9.99). Better still, now that we’re back home, we’re using the book’s recipes to re-create our favorite meals. Delish! I highly recommend it as a great addition to any food lover’s library.
The Wild Pair:
You, Your Moolah andTravel
Even if you have been socking away presidents since you were l5 years old and planning for rainy days by wearing a financial raincoat all your life, you are probably not immune to the economic uncertainty that is gripping the U.S.A. and much of the world. Maybe you are wincing when your monthly statements come in or calling your broker to say “hi” when you really want to scream “help.” You may have noticed that your shopping therapy outings are shorter, non-existent or you’re doing more window shopping than looking at yourself from the side and rear in a dressing room. Is this any time to be thinking about travel? You bet it is. And the Wild Pair would love to tell you why.
