The stars come out and the fun begins at Rancho de San Juan. Read how a simple country inn—in the middle of nowhere—became an international establishment of gracious hospitality and gourmet cuisine. Enjoy tales about the famous and not-so-famous guests who stayed with us. Revisit some of the parties and disasters—delight in the romantic, quirky, and uniquely different experiences of being an innkeeper. Discover the interesting, amusing, and sometimes crazy happenings that were part of life at the Rancho. How did we run our country inn? By the seat of our pants, with a dream in our hearts, and a lot of nerve. Some people are born with hospitality in their blood—others learn from experience. And then there are those like us who simply pleasure in the challenge of pampering and entertaining guests. While increasing our knowledge of hospitality, over twenty years in New Mexico, we encountered a learning curve that generated stress, patience, understanding, and the ability to resolve almost any problem with humor and determination. We delighted in the laughter, happiness and surprise of our guests. Now, as a writer, I welcome the opportunity to share these experiences with you. Let the tales begin.

David Heath lives in Merida, Mexico in the Yucatan with John Johnson, his life-partner of 48 years. Together they owned and operated a Relais & Châteaux called the Rancho de San Juan Country Inn and Restaurant 38 miles northwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico, for more than 20 years. David is originally from Ft. Worth, Texas and John is from Watonga, Oklahoma. They met in 1969 in San Francisco and forty-three years later (2013) were legally married in the rotunda of City Hall in San Francisco, California. David majored in interior design at the University of Texas and moved to California in 1969. He worked in merchandise display, retail sales, and real estate in southern California. John was an architect. In 1992 they decided to open their own business in northern New Mexico which they owned and operated until choosing to retire in 2012. Having traveled most of Europe, the continental United States, and Canada, they are now exploring new adventures in the tropics of Mexico. David is currently writing poetry, mysteries, and a memoir titled Adventures in Life. John is his personal tour guide, organizer, chef, and loving companion. Life is good! “As long as we wake up on the green side of the grass each morning, life couldn’t get much better.”—D.G. Heath
