Tomorrow we are heading to New Mexico, where we lived for ten years before moving to Savannah - from high desert to the ocean. As we are getting all of our things ready to take and the house in order for our house sitter, who takes care of Winslow and Ramses, I keep thinking about this upcoming vacation in a place that still feels like home to us.
I am looking forward to:*seeing our family and friends
*breathing in the clear, crisp desert air the minute we step out of the airport
*the grand vistas where you can see for miles on end
*the big sky where you can see a thunderstorm coming from miles away
*the blue, blue New Mexico sky
*the excellent food at our favorite restaurants and cafes
*ordering iced tea without the question: "sweet or unsweet?"
*seeing the spectacular mountains
*the long and gorgeous drive up to Denver and back again with a stop in the Jemez Mountains
*the views (oh, did I mention that before?)
*our favorite spots in Albuquerque and Santa Fe
*and much, much more!
I'll be posting from the road and hope to take you all along with us on this trip to The Land of Enchantment!
Safe travels! I'm sure it'll be a fabulous trip!

ReplyDeleteGreat rainbow shot. You got me thinking about the New Mexico and the film, THE MILAGRO BEAN FIELD WAR came to mind. Did you see it? Redford really caught the magic of the New Mexico landscape in the film...
