Old Mesilla, New Mexico

To the south of Las Cruces, NM, sits the historic town of Mesilla. A beautiful old church claims the center of town, along with a shaded plaza, and the narrow streets are filled with boutiques, restaurants, and people taking their time strolling along.

It was a delight to find Preston Contemporary Art Center and to discover Susan Puelz and her wonderful landscape paintings done in watercolor and pastel.

We had dinner at La Posta, it's hard to avoid good Mexican food in the Southwest. Of the four of us at dinner, three of us had great meals, one of us was up sick all night. My dinner was great, but if you come, you might want steer clear of the shredded beef!
