Hey all.. just wanted to drop a quick note on here before we set off for a long period where we probably won't have internet for a while. Although we did notice on our last drive that most big rest stops claim that they have wi-fi access, so we might have to check that out. Yesterday was a long drive that consisted of nothing... yet was full of so much! We talked about how it felt like we went through at least 3 different worlds as the extreme landscapes and horizon seemed to "morph" continuously. So although it was a good 9.5 hours in the car, we both agreed that it didn't seem so bad because we were basically in awe of how far we have come and at seeing things we never thought we would drive through. You know places like this exist, but it's hard to truly grasp the vastness of the land and diversity of landscapes until you drive through it. And the thing is, we aren't even a week into our trip, so we know so much more remains to be seen!
Anyway, we finally finished our drive and instead of driving an additional 3 hours to Albuquerque NM.. I got in touch with my cousin Bernadette who lives in Alamogordo, NM which was basically right on our path. She is an air force officer, working at Holloman Airforce base here in town. She lives in a great little house not too far off the highway, and was nice enough to let us stay the night.. and even baked some sort of cookie/cheesecake dessert! Haha whatever it was it was delicious. It was great to catch up with her and see her at her home in New Mexico, and here some of her cool air force stories. So thanks Bernadette for living in "nowheresville" and being kind enough to take us in!! :)
Today we are heading to Santa Fe, NM to explore and stay the night.. before heading into the mountains of Colorado to do some camping and then visit Boulder, CO. This is a portion of our trip that will consist of camping and some extreme sights we hope. Plenty more pictures of San Antonio and our drive through Texas uploaded onto our photo site, so check it out!

ReplyDeleteps-good luck with the scavenger hunt!
I really do have a place if you need somewhere in CO, 20 min from boulder and 20 min from denver. We met her (heather) at the wedding, in PUNTA CANA. Thats the Dominican Republic, so no Dan is not the only one traveling around. I just decided to not stick to puny in-country travel... But really, its Amanda's (girl who got married) cousin and she said youre more than welcome if need be. Let me know
