Eating History Tour through NM	Sat Apr 27	Slide Show	Tom Hughes	"First we at, then we do everything else, " as the writer, M.F. K, Fisher once said. Of course, first the food must be gathered or grown, hunted or herded, processed, marketed, prepared and then consumed. So Albuquerque-based food historian Tom Hughes set out to write up the stories of New Mexico 's food, history and heritage sites as a statewide travel guide, a saga covering about 15,000 years after living and eating here for about 30. One large unwieldy volume "Eats New Mexico: Places, People, Past & Present " became three more bite-size books now filled with illustrations. These explore the eating histories and food heritage sites of Albuquerque and Northeast New Mexico, Santa Fe and Northwest NM and Southern NM. They are the first books to focus exclusively on the Land of Enchantment 's food history, heritage sites and the people, especially women, who have nourished and been nourished in this special place.

Wandering in the Clear Light of New Mexico	Sat May 25	Booksigning	David Ryan on 2024-02-28 21:2	On Saturday, May 25, David Ryan the coauthor of the most recent edition of 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Albuquerque will be speaking at Travel Bug about his new book Wandering in the Clear Light of New Mexico. Wandering in the Clear Light of New Mexico expands upon the themes of exploring and wandering found within the 60 Hikes book to include the entire state. The new book is about places that you can only find in New Mexico and that are compelling enough and important enough to warrant a drive across the country to check out. To begin, the nation has only 25 UNESCO-designated World Heritage Sites. Three of them are in New Mexico – more than any other state. And when you add in the state’s amazing landforms, distinct sense of place, archaeological sites, and locations of historical and cultural significance, you have an amazing state for wandering and exploring. Wandering in the Clear Light of New Mexico is for those already living in the state, planning to visit the state, and for those who may have forgotten what makes New Mexico so special. Author Information David Ryan moved to New Mexico 25 years ago after hiking the 2180-mile long Appalachian Trail. His time in New Mexico has been spent wandering and exploring every corner of the state. In addition to wandering, he is the coauthor of 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Albuquerque and is the author of The Gentle Art of Wandering and several other hiking and walking books. He maintains a blog on wandering and exploring at www.gentleartofwandering.com.
