For my late birthday trip to Carlsbad Caverns this year it was time for Sara (my granddaughter) to make her first trip down into the caverns. Luckily there were also four photos to take on this trip, the first one being in Artesia, a town we must pass through on the way to Carlsbad. Artesia has never been mine or Jim’s favorite city , but I decided to look at this city with fresh new eyes. In researching the location of the photo I found that there is a walking tour of downtown Artesia where the photos subject was located, so we followed it, as far as the photo op, which was the Land of the Sun Theater. There is a cute little walkway with fountains and water features, created when one of the downtown buildings burned. We stopped to have lunch at a local restaurant, something we never do, and it was very tasty. |
