Super 8 Motel Socorro

... do dalšího hamburgrovýho řetězce, tentokrát Carl´s Jr. (Fakt nevím, kolik hambáčů jsme tu už měli, dokážu jen hodnotit, který stojí za to. Tenhle určitě jo, hlavně jejich „přírodní" hranolky.)

Následuje nudná zhruba stomílová štreka až do Socorra, po níž jedinou zábavou je „honění se“ s vlakem, co ...

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.

Tomorrow we're up early and off to Colorado near Aspen to stay with cousin Carl & his family.

... we waited to join a special guided tour of the King's Palace rooms. They were spectacular, and not accessible from the self-guided areas. The gorgeous rock formations - stalactites, stalagmites, columns, and my favorites – the draperies, were incredible. As much as I tried to get some good pictures, you have to see them with your own eyes to really grasp how beautiful they are. Our Ranger guide turned off the lights for awhile so that we could experience ...

... objects known, from planets and comets in our own Solar System to galaxies and quasars at the edge of the observable universe. The headquarters of NRAO is in Charlottesville, Virginia, and the Observatory operates major radio telescope facilities in Socorro, New Mexico and Green Bank, West Virginia.

Made a stop at the El Camino Real International Hertitage Center. Very interesting and very well done http://www.caminorealheritage.org/found ation/foundation.htm pictures to follow. Just a heads up it is in the middle of know where literally. 30miles south of Socorro off the I-25 but i thought worth it.

... geese. Great pictures + Great Friends = a Great time. While I was down there I stopped at the world renowned Owl Cafe, good food at a great price and wonderful old town ambiance. I'd advise everyone to try their Green Chile Cheeseburger and french fries.

... and travel a while. That's how he ended up visiting his son in the west. So now Art is camped out in Socorro. One day B. W. comes and finds him and asks if he would like to be the campground host. Art mulls it over for a while and says yes. So, since last fall Art has been the campground host at Montosa RV Park. He has finally found a home that is completely different than anything he has experienced in his life. Art tells me that Danny, the one person who had the ...

... nothing, I would strongly recommend to them that they check into a psych ward at the nearest hospital. I don't really believe it (logically) but all indications point in this direction. The signs, the messages, the coincidences, the paths, and the reinforcements when I doubt that they are true continue to baffle me. It has been extremely difficult to write this because my conscious self cannot or doesn't want to believe this. It is literally draining ...

... over us grounded mortals. Spellbound we twisted and turned to keep them in sight as they swept around the skies above us, only to settle back to their banquet in a matter of moments. I squealed with delight, a response hardly welcomed by the more serious observers! Malc, already feeling inadequate in the size department since his camera was by far the smallest in the line up, was equally overawed. Though his shutter ...

... Within the valley we drove past scattered houses, fairly typical of many we have seen here in NM. Cluttered and remote, you have to wonder what people do. Socorro, is a town with a long history, the area was inhabited two centuries before Columbus sailed. From the early Pueblo Indians and the Spanish, who came along the El Camino Real to the boom and bust days of the mining period. Like many we have seen the town plaza had its share ...
