What A breathtaking day

We definitely had beauty overload today as we drove through New Mexico. Every time we thought we had seen the most beautiful thing, we saw more. The whole eastern part of the state belongs to various Native American Nations and the view is almost overwhelming. Albuquerque was a great city to drive through, the buildings blend into the landscape; even the Lowes and Walmart were southwestern architecture. The highways are trimmed in turquoise color and the symbolism of the southwest is etched everywhere. A definite add to the "I could retire here" list!



Arizona was flat, filled with nothing but tumbleweed for miles and then we entered the mountain ranges! A mere 7335 feet elevation, patches of snow still covered parts of the area. Too far to visit the Grand Canyon, but one day we will!


We weren't really impressed with the scenery of Texas, but we have to admit, Texas knows how to do steak! We ate the most delicious meal at a steakhouse last night and we felt bad complaining about TX being nothing but cattle ranches!
We have laughed our way across America, my photography skills being the butt of many jokes. My intent was to take a picture of each state welcome sign and I have messed up everyone! If I managed to get the whole name in, it was too far away to see!
