La Quinta Las Cruces

We stayed at Bonnie and Sal's on Saturday and Sunday night. We had a great time, and hope that they will come to Michigan this summer. Bonnie is still the same, we laughed a lot. Salvador is a lot of fun, we drank beer and talked a bunch. They have such a nice house, Salvador has done a lot of work on it.

... 269;kem. White Sands arena je prostě závodní dráha jako ze snu! Jen ty závodničky nám chybí.

Když už je slunce za horama, vydáváme se pomalu k Borisovi. Radek nese pytlík plnej písku, Michal v hlavě kreslí plány na další okruh a já mám kromě plných bot i plnou hlavu toho, co jsme tu viděli. Kouzelný místo, kde člověk zapomene na čas.

Ještě nás čeká pár desítek mil do kempu v Las Cruces.

... chance que Claire avait prévu mettre des bouteilles d'eau au congélateur.  

La soirée s'est terminée ŕ Las Cruces.  Autre petite ville trčs trčs tranquille.  La plupart des magasins étaient fermés lorsqu'on est arrivé dans le downtown vers 17:00.  Mais le séjour ŕ l'hôtel vaut son pesant d'or.  Jardin arričre avec piscine, thé servi par le proprio, décor enchanteur.  C'est vraiment relaxant.

Today I got my passport at the post office,it took us an hour to sign everything,the lady said in two weeks it would come but I got lucky and got it a week earlier,so mom worked another week then we started are trip first we went to Tuscon then California and then up to the mountains,any way it was fun but not fun getting pushed in with all the luggage next to me and almost hitting me in the head (we were going to Canada but we didn't have time). 

An unexpected 3-day stop over in Las Cruces helped restore us, mind and body, and prepare us for our upcoming tour of National Parks in the 4 corners area. Las Cruces is home to New Mexico State University and while parts of town appear pretty beaten and sleepy, there are some points of interest and daytrips worth note. The impressive Organ Mountains watch over the city and attract higher-end residential and ...

... I can't imagine how much they budget per year for national defense! It really makes one realize how insignificant Canada is as a military power. I must commend the Americans though. Every time peace is threatened or another country experiences a natural disaster the US is first in line to offer assistance. No wonder they have such a huge deficit! It just re-enforces the importance of our friendship with our southern neighbors. If we were ever attacked we would ...

... As I mentioned, summer is monsoon season in the Southwest, and this evening was no exception. When we came through here in the fall of 2006, we discovered that New Mexico makes wine. Who knew? The two vineyards that have tasting rooms in Las Cruces/Mesilla are St. Claire and Luna Rossa. We stopped at both tasting rooms and bought some more wine ...

This reserve is the biggest reserve of white sand dune in the world, that's very nice, very peaceful, very instructive also coz the presentation flyer teach about the different types of dunes you can see over there and the wild life present.

... pointing to an imaginary dot in the sky... Ian just got mad at me and said :"Let's just call it Danie's blog". I wonder why..... This is Ian now. The object was not imaginary! Danielle saw it too!! It reminded me of a blimp except that it wasn't cigar shaped, it was indented in the middle at the top and the bottom. Kind of strange. It didn't move at all, just hovered there. Pretty weird.... More to come.... Big shout out to Erica, Dave and Marley!!
