| Rio Grande at Las Cruces |
We explored the city of La Cruces along the Rio Grande. I was surprised to find out after a visit to the Mesilla Bosque State Park, the river is dry during the winter months at this location. Up river dams are collecting water to irrigate spring crops.
Without control the Rio Grande would wander back and forth, a wide yet shallow river.
A visit to Old Mesilla Village took us back in time with old adobe homes turned into shops and restuarants.
La Posta Restuarant, a true gem with multiple rooms decorated in quaint historic fashion.

| Mel, local artisian who creates the finishes |
I had the pleasure of talking with Mel who was working on redoing one of fireplaces. He does some beautiful work.

| La Posta Bar |
Of course we stayed for a margarita too at the bar.

| Green Chili Fries at High Dessert Brewery |
We made sure to find the local brew houses along the way. Green Chili's a local harvest here is offered on everything.
Even met some green and gold Packers fans. Where else, catching a brew flight at 11 in the morning. Be sure to note there's an hour time difference. Not that it matters if you're from Wisconsin.

| Saturday Market |
A final stop at the farmers market, complete with food trucks.
Tomorrow Arizona
