Santa Fe


New pictures from Alamogordo to Santa Fe are posted! We had a great night here last night just walking around the town and seeing the unique architecture, art galleries, and restaurants Santa Fe has to offer. By the time we got here, unfortunately, most shops were closed, but yesterday actually marked the 400 year anniversary of Santa Fe so there were a few museums open for free. I especially enjoyed the Chuck Jones gallery, which held tons of pieces from the legendary "master of animation." Chuck Jones created the famous Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, and Porky Pigg, which was really neat to see the original works. Overall, I really liked this artsy city, but again, it's a place I would only want to spend about 2-3 days in, because it's small and consists mostly of art galleries.

Due to the rainy weather, Dan and I have decided to take out first detour. Instead of going through the "million-dollar highway" today and then camping in Black Canyon today, we have decided to go through Colorado Springs, Denver, and up to Boulder. We will do Black Canyon in a few days hopefully. Thanks to the great Sean Davies and his family, we will have a place to stay tonight! We are so excited to check out CO and we will keep you updated.
