Riiingggg!!!! Wake Up time!
Good Evening from the Great State of New Mexico!!!

If you could drive it, it was on the road: cars, trucks, semis, minivans (my future vehicle), Winnebagos (our future road traveler), bike racks, trailers, classics, Uhauls, and I think I saw a tour bus.

We left this morning around 5:00am, it wasn't as bad as I thought. the alarm went off and we put our feet on the ground. We stopped a few times, of course, and made it here at 2:30pm(MDT). Santa Fe is a nice town full of look-alike adobe buildings. You can't tell the difference between a house, church, museum, or Albertsons. Very interesting....

We rode around for a little while, but then came back to the hotel to rest (a Super 8, free wi-fi and breakfast!!!). Well, watch black exploitation get honored, the BET Music Awards. Thank God they honored Frankie Beverly and Whitney Houston.

We will head out for Vegas at 6am, so again it's bedtime.

Thanks for keeping up with us and praying for our safe travels.

These signs were everywhere! Maybe the drunks come from the XXX locales spread every 100 feet.
