WOOPS
Somewhere along the old historic Route 66 (now I-40, which is basically the only road we roll on), a big blue 18-wheeler was beepin and honkin at us. I thought we were just in violation of some road protocol, but Amanda said pull over. We did and this is what we found. I've since tightened up the screws.
Anyway, Amanda needs a new bike :(
While we were on the road, I said to Amanda that I wasn't sure if there will be much to see or do in Sante Fe. I was WRONG. What an amazing place loaded with art and Native American culture. Just a genuine mix of American history with new age urban living in a gorgeous setting with mountains, desert, dry heat, cool nights and inspiring people.
Here's a video of my man playing the violin at our RV park on the first morning we arrived in Sante Fe. Linko loved it.
It was definitely worth the long drive the day before to get to spend 2 days in Sante Fe and we took full advantage of it. As nature would have it, we were able to witness a solar eclipse! When the moon passes b/w the sun and the earth (I looked that up) it results in a blinding light that when viewed with special 3D-type glasses looks like this:
Everyone was outside sharing the glasses and admiring this natural phenomenon including us. It was incredible!
The next morning, Amanda found us the equivalent of the JCC in Sante Fe called the GCCC. Despite having to be on prednizone for some annoying pain she's experiencing, Amanda braved a Zumba class, Riley played in the indoor water park, Lincoln swam for the first time and I got to swim some laps. Fun stuff!
Later that day, we got back in the house car headed to Flagstaff, AZ, where we are now.
Using technology as our friend, we were so lucky to first find the La Posada Hotel where we stopped for dinner last night. This place is legit. Our dinner in The Turquoise Room was authentic Native American cuisine and the lobby doubled as an art gallery and music venue. Really, really cool place. Thanks Yelp.
We're getting back on the road in a little bit headed to Sin City - Las Vegas, NV.
Hoping to see Grandpa Bob who is there for the real estate convention and will definitely be on Reg's couch for Game 5. Lets go Heat!
