Discovering Tierra Amarillo
Driving down N.M. 84, we watched Los Alamos, Espanola and even the scatterings of roadside businesses in Abiquiu just slip past the windows.
Soon, there was nothing filling the windows but a gray strip of asphalt and huge, scenic landscapes.
This is when the adventure began.
My traveling partner (my mother) and I picked Tierra Amarillo to visit at random.

Hi Los Alamos,
My name is Sue York and I am going to be writing the new food section, “Food on the Hill” of the Los Alamos Daily Post.
