Hampton Inn Santa Fe, N.M.

... 7,857 miles(that's 224 gallons of gas @ $582.40). All that and I'm proud to say I've never worn a pair of underwear more than one day.Very homesick,can almost smell the ocean. As you can tell from the pictures,nothing really going on now.We're serious about getting home. Wouldn't trade a minute of it but I'm never driving again. Linda's going to drive me like Miss Daisy for thr rest of my life.

We couldn't leave the Narrow Gauge Railroad Inn quick enough in the morning! We had both hardly slept and I was still under the weather, but we were looking forward to getting in the car and driving across the border to New Mexico and down to Santa Fe. The drive was as spectacular as ever (for us anyway!), and the golden autumn colours were dazzling. The drive took around 3 hours down the 285 and we arrived at our motel mid-afternoon. The motel, a traditional Puebloan adobe ...

... with it a wonderful and vibrant market. Now you can stay in the heart of Santa Fe, shop at the market for fresh food, and prepare your own meal if you stay at a short term rental unit like the units that are available at El Corazon De Santa Fe for example. Whether your interest is the opera, arts, good food or simply the great outdoors, a visit to Santa Fe is one you will not regret. <br>

... of the conspiracy theory. To be fair the museum there present some compelling arguements that there was a pretty big cover up. The town is hilarious there are aliens everywhere, they are outside shops, on the top of lamposts and there is even a Walmart alien. Side note, Jemma had one of her best ever sandwiches. It was a Chicken, avocado, bacon and secret sauce sandwich. It was also here that Jemma decided it was time for me to get a hair ...

Woke at 6:00 after a restless night. Chris had a conference call, then we went for a Baja Tacos run. We sat out on the concrete benches under the metal cow shed and enjoyed the clean air--such a contrast to Dallas! After returning to the hotel I took photos of the new spa (decor was a bit funky) and wandered ...

... of town we saw a bunch people hanging around the side of the road, Adeana thought maybe it was combine races, which doesn't seem out of place in Amarillo, but in fact it was the Cadillac Ranch, which was the ONE thing we had planned on seeing in Amarillo, so we figured we better stop and check it out. Graffiti is encouraged, but we didn't have a spare can of spray paint sitting around, I did think about dousing it with some leftover transmission fluid, but we just decided to just ...

... so we'll be updating you on some of natures most awesome creations... stay tuned...... Until then, chew on this lovely little quote of the day from yesterday: (one final quote from Jenny) "This place is crazy! I wouldn't want to live here... it's like everything is a pueblo... or a trailer that they covered in clay to look like a pueblo. Huh, pueblo house on the right, pueblo school, pueblo hospital, pueblo hotel......" (in reference to Albuquerque). Night kids.

... that are far away. We arrive in Santa Fe too early to check in, so we cruise downtown and find Museum Hill. Once at the hill we find museum after museum closed, of course it's Easter. We were about to give up when we find The Wheelwright Museum open. It is small and intimate with only about 4 rooms. Most of the exhibit is Navajo with a little of Hopi. It includes paintings ...

... a set for our house as well. The owner told us that she had got them at Artesanos on Maclovia just south of where we were. Once we got instructions, we went back to our room, moved our belongings into our new room, and headed off to Artesanos.<br><br>We had no trouble finding Artesanos with the instructions she gave. It didn&#8217;t take long to realize why the locals went there for their tile purchases. They had a great selection at reasonable ...
