Adios Palo Duro; Hola New Mexico!


We left Palo Duro Canyon a little reluctantly yesterday morning. It is so beautiful there. Really a hidden gem in Texas. It's such a surprise to come upon it in the middle of the vast prairie of West Texas.

But we knew we were going on to cooler climes and you can't beat that.


We headed toward Santa Fe where we met some friends of Jim from Whitney. On the way out of Santa Fe, we saw this sign:


What does it mean? We didn't have time to stop to find out but traveling does provide giggling ops, for sure.


New Mexico, like Texas, has had a lot more rain this year and is so green and beautiful. Dee has added a new horse to the pack...this picture is in her backyard.


Dee's man Carlos shows off his antique "seeder" which Jim found on the internet, dating to 1909 or thereabouts.

Today: kayaking on the Rio Grande and dinner at Rancho de Chimayo (http://www.ranchodechimayo.com/).

So far, casita life is pretty fab!

  1. Carol and Jim, I have commented two days in a row without any luck of knowing if you received it or not. Oh well, looks like you guys are doing pretty good making your way up North. Maybe you will be ready to sell that casita whenever you return! Dwight
