Heading for the Land of Enchantment to celebrate Mike's 60th Birthday I wasn't able to get good pictures from the car, and for some reason Mike didn't want to stop in the middle of the highway for me to get out and take pictures along the way. Sheesh. The mountains in Colorado are for the most part larger, many "14-ers" (mountains over 14,000 feet high), and more dramatic. Still, there is something special about the rolling brush covered hills backed by blue or red mountains en route to New Mexico that, like the ocean, touches my soul. On Sunday, when we left, the cloud formations were lovely. More to come . . . | |

Day 5, Santa Fe to Arvada After breakfast in Amaya, we enjoyed a last minute look around our lovely hotel, then finished packing and called our butler for help with the bags, and we were on our way home. We hit the usually rotten traffic around Colorado Springs, so the drive took us seven hours. The cats have told us we can never leave home again. Tosh was all over us, and Chrystie was really REALLY mad at us. It took her two days to forgive us. The party continues . . . . |
