ROAD TRIP- 1/3/2012

8amish- jemez springs.
raymond made me this breakfast burrito.. it is amazing!!! look at that red chili.. he makes it from scratch!
it is as red as blood!

(look i found occupy jemez springs!)

11amish

raymond & i spend the day in Albuquerque, NM. 
he takes me to his fave tortillaria and and then we go "tiquing."  
(the auntie way of saying-shopping for antiques)

wow~  i found us a place to have high- tea!

i take raymond to the ST. JAMES TEA ROOM. they only high tea room in albq. 
raymond is a high tea virgin so i'm excited to "pop his tea cherry".


THE ST.  JAMES TEAROOM! 
what an absolute one-of-a-kind gem!

each room has an individual decor. for us the proprietress mary ellen chooses- 
THE AFRICAN ROOM.
i guess since it's two guys having tea, this room is the most "macho."

i introduce raymond as~ "MR. SANDOVAL."
