New Mexico and Beyond!

Colorado led to more deserty landscape as we entered New Mexico. I was surprised that we did not see any cacti until well into the state. I guess my expectation of rocky mountains meeting cacti filled deserts was not realistic. We landed in Taos in the early afternoon and spent 2 lovely days there. The weather was perfect for the touristy thing of walking around, peering into art galleries and watching for local wildlife. We spent an afternoon and evening in Santa Fe where the sun was warm, the company great and the burritos delicious. From there we departed for the cooler climate that we found in the Grand Canyon... --JW
