It's weird how without my queen size bed at home I still slept like a baby on a thin one inch matt and a sleeping bag... camping works in mysterious ways. ...
The Sonora Desert Comes to Life
... br>
After breakfast Ellen and her sister, Kathleen, took us on a walk around their desert community. One of the things unique about New Mexico and Arizona is the architecture and the way homes are tucked into the surrounding landscape barely visible, usually no higher than the surrounding trees. It gives one the feeling of openness and more of a connection with nature.
