Comfort Suites Santa Fe

First of all,thanks for all your prayers and best wishes for my ASS. It's much better now that the callouses act as a protective shield. Here's some numbers for you.We've stayed in 12 different hotel rooms,11 of the Holiday Inn Express(which means I've eaten 24 microwave sausage/cardboard patties and bathed with soap the size of postage stamps 12 times). By the time we get to Florida,we will have ...

... had a a lot of character and, although the rooms were a bit basic and dark, at least they were reasonably clean.

We dropped off our bags and headed straight for the towncentre (via Taco Bell for lunch, a crime I know, but actually quite good!), about 2 miles up the road. We had been expecting Santa Fe to be really cool, and it didn't disappoint. The old narrow streets and main plaza looked pretty idyllic in the warm sunshine and there was a chilled 'hippy' atmosphere ...

Santa Fe has so much to offer. If you are going, it is best you stay in the heart of Santa Fe near the plaza, museums such as the Georgia O'keefe Museum, art galleries, great restaurants, and much more. The Indian Market this year (August) was great although slightly off due to the recession. The Railyard area of Santa Fe is a new and interesting addition to the Santa Fe historic district and ...

... Landmark. It is one of the youngest buildings in the village. The thickness of the adobe walls that support the high ceilings and offer the best natural insulation. The summers are cool and the winters are warm inside the thick walls. Photography was prohibited inside the church.

The cemetery photo shows where the original 1619 San Geronimo Church once stood before it was destroyed in 1847. During a conflict between the US Army and ...

... by her! It actually came out pretty well, she must have picked up some tips from Carly over the years.

Next stop the wonderfully named ´Truth or Consequences´, called that to attract tourists and settlers to the area. Well that worked on us! The best bit has to be the hot springs in town and you can soak in varying temperature baths. The hottest was 110F!

Next time Arizona, again! And probably some more whinging about driving.

... has been swapped for a Japanese Mitsubushi Gallant.

Our spirits are good - Millie swam two lengths of the 15m hotel pool without armbands today (!) and we are trying to take it easy - generally only going out for half days. The kids are in good cheer and seem to be taking it all in. 'Is this the way to Amarillo ?'...'Yes it is, for the hundredth time, now bloody well stop signing it please !'. The laptop and Craig's films on it are proving godsends on the long ...

Last night, after a yummy camp stove dinner and a nice fire, we were fast asleep, warm in our sleeping bags, when we were woken up by the howling of coyotes which sounded far too close for comfort. Then, just as we were falling asleep again, we heard noises outside and realized they were passing right by our tent. Mike fell right back asleep but it took me a good half an hour to relax enough to sleep again!

... and chicken feed. Since then, he has joined our "pack" and has sniffed and marked much of the continent. What he missed out in the first 11 years of his life, he made up for in the last 2 1/2. He was our "good guy" and will be missed immensely. Our life and travels will not be the same without him. We love you Kodiak!
