Flew to Albuquerque from Detroit. Rented a car. Drove to Socorro and then to Magdalena where I had lodging reservations. Magdalena is 20 miles west of Socorro, but there is a neat old (restored) Spanish mission church in Socorro. You can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socorro,_New_Mexico. Some of these pictures are in Socorro, like the visitors bureau which used to be the original jail house.Read more

Leaving for home and for Tom
August 11, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Heute geht es nach 39 Tagen Urlaub nach Hause. Es war eine tolle Reise mit vielen Highlights. Ich bin froh, dass ich es geschafft habe jeden Tag hier festzuhalten. Die langen Aufenthalte in Morro Bay und in der Sierra Nevada haben sehr gut getan. Ich hatte viel Zeit mich zu bewegen und die meiste Zeit konnten die lieben Hundies mit, was eine große Freude war zu sehen. Wir alle hatten gute Gelegenheit uns zu erholen. John spielte fast jeden Tag Guitarre, Sidney konnte fast jeden Tag ausschlafen, ich meine Wanderung, Joggingtouren in dieser herrlich Landschaft machen. Es regnete nur einmal auf unserer Wanderung in der Sierra Nevada. Leider war die Sicht auf die Berge oft eingetrübt aufgrund der vielen Feuer aber wir haben nie eins gesehen.
Ich bin sehr dankbar für diese wunderbaren Wochen. Jetzt freue ich mich aber auch auf zuhause, den Alltag und vor allem auf Tom.Read more

Day 12
Belen

So a gorgeous and really cold morning but slept warm. Headed towards New Mexico and took back roads. It was awesome. So much open space but alot of pronghorns and llamas. Not sure why the llamas but anyway. Made it to the state park I was aiming for and they were closed, went to my second choice and the road access was closed. Then stopped at a small rv place and they wanted $45 dollars but did not have water because it was frozen. So headed to another RV site but the GPS could not locate it. So found a motel and the extra $10 got me a/c, heat. a tub, and what they call breakfast. Just cooked dinner in the trailer and now inside and chilling out. It is supposed to freeze again so I guess this is not a bad choice. Needed a good soaking and to wash my hair anyway. Did see a winery for sale along the way if anyone is looking. Appeared to have about 10 acres of poorly kept vines. Definitely in need of tlc. No photos today so sharing my last View of Palo Duro Canyon.Read more
Jean Whileyman It has been in the 80's here and feels like May. Finally getting a little cooler today but not freezing thank goodness!

The Rio Grande
April 27, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
I pictured the Rio Grande being large and impressive, big and muddy like the Mississippi. It’s a bit smaller and less “grand” than I expected, muuuch smaller than the Sacramento. The valley it produces, however, is a sea of green amongst the desert and is quite scenic.Read more
