[Leica] Advice for what M Kit to take to Santa Fe NM and Taos is a few weeks

[don.dory at gmail.com (Don Dory)]

Thanks Bill.  My recommendations were from a recent visit.  We ate at the
Shed several times and your recommendation as to the Chile sauces is also
quite correct.  If you can find a cheap rate I heartily endorse staying at
LA Fonda; it is in the center of town an convenient to the silver market,
cathedral,  Canyon Street, and the backwater sights by the river.
