In the Mood For… the Rez 2.0
So, I was previously in the mood for the rez because I was about to go visit my former home on the Navajo reservation in Thoreau, NM. Then I actually went and visited. And I took some pictures and started kicking myself for ever moving away from there but then started kicking myself harder for ever questioning a brilliant move to the Bay Area.

[My BFF Aislinn accompanied me. Her rat tail is goin’ strong.]
[*True Love* on the rez. Reppin' the "Dine" hat which means, "the people" in Navajo.]
[Navajo taco FTW.]
[Santa Fe Brewing Co. is ALWAYS a solid choice.]
[Shank City.]
[Fabulous queer-owned, queer-run cafe in the middle of Nowhere, (anyone heard of Ramah?) NM. Ancient Way, as it’s called, makes the greatest green-chile apple pie imaginable.]
Key takeaway: If you haven’t eaten a Navajo taco, you haven’t lived.
Ancient Ways as a queer-owned establishment isn’t as much out of context as it might seem. isn’t there a Radical Faerie space in that area?
Yes! Totally. They put on cool queer plays in Gallup, NM too, which few people there appreciate. 🙂
