Seeing people in person after so long has been wonderful. I hit the road with plenty of good masks!
In Albuquerque, in addition to seeing readers and writers at Left Coast Crime, I also got to spend time hiking and eating at great restaurants with my aunt who lives in New Mexico. Though I was sad to see that my favorite restaurant in Old Town Albuquerque had closed—the one that inspired Blue Sky Teas in my Accidental Alchemist mysteries, with a living tree in the center! But we still had a great time.
