Took it easy today in New Mexico. I let the girls sleep late, and then we went in search of the internet to Socorro, about 20 miles away. It's pretty country here, and we're staying in a lovely Adobe home up in the hills.<br><br>Tomorrow we're up early and off to Colorado near Aspen to stay with cousin Carl &amp; his family.

... s exploration. There are actually 365 caves in the area &#8211; with some being much larger than the ones accessible to the public. By the end of the day, the girls were beat, and we zoomed out of the cave ascending 750 feet in a flash by elevator.<br> Our road trip continued northwest through Roswell and on to Magdalena.

Art mentions that he met the local Bishop as he is converting to Catholicism. He grew up Baptist and wasn't much of a follower. One day during his stay he went and visited the San Miguel Mission, currently the local Catholic Church in Socorro. Mass was about to start. He decided what harm would it do if he ...

... 2 days from now. That's what happens when I originally planned on writing a simpler blog and events don't happen as I had envisioned. Things happened tomorrow and the day after to confirm what I have told you. You be the judge if it's all coincidence or there is more to it than any of us can comprehend. I finally started writing this after much procrastination. First I must back up to last week when I was having lunch at the Thirsty Goat Saloon at the ...

... at sunset, once more joining the 'professionals'. The same agonising ritual followed early the next morning, only this time we made it. Waiting in the half light, trying not to let the icy wind chill us to the bone, we found a spot where the Snow Geese and the Cranes had spent their night. As the day slowly dawned, they began to ruffle their feathers and shake their wings - they would take off into the wind Malc ...

... temptation. Though I must admit I wasn't quite as keen as Malc! But, what a gem...firstly take a look at these...would you have been keen? The entrance doesn't look inviting does it?
