New Mexico
Back to work only until lunchtime as I really feel it is time for a holiday! Yes yesterday was a holiday too but this afternoon begins a vacation.
I have never been to the sparsely populated state of New Mexico and later we fly to Albuquerque, via Atlanta and then drive the 60 miles north-east to
Santa Fe for 4 days. I have only read good things about Santa Fe and it's urbane and artsy town. and lying outside of Santa Fe are centuries-old adobes and pueblos standing proud and just waiting to be explor
ed.
Next weekend we end up back in Atlanta until Monday, for some power shopping and the last few days of our mini break.
This past extended weekend was excellent, helped by having a good mate staying with us to witness the gaiety the Tall Ships provided, although yesterday's trip out on the catamaran was somewhat disrupted by bad weather and a late start but we did get a chance to wave goodbye to those incredible barques as they raced off to Charleston.
