First things first, downtown Tucson on a Sunday is not that exciting. Our apologies to any Tucsonians (we didn't after all, properly research) but that main street was dead!! On the other hand, Apache National Forest (in AZ) was beautiful. It took us longer to get there than we thought but the drive on the 191 was worth it. We were greeted with rain showers, no entrance fee, and a fantastic campground host, Cliff. The drive to Santa Fe was less than stellar. In our next life, we need an ipod so we don't have to listen to the same pinche cd 3 times in a row. Literally. Three. times. in. a. row.
Santa Fe, however, is truly magical. We were only planning on staying here for a night or two but have since fallen in love with it and are staying as long as we can. The adobe architecture, art galleries, sterling silver, and clearly, New Mexican cuisine, have cast a spell over these humble Californians. To top it off, every local we have met has been so kind and gracious and excited to talk to us about their favorite places in town. There is so much culture and so much history here, in fact Santa Fe is celebrating it's 400th year!! It's the oldest capitol in the US.
Now we must apologize to our fathers for passing up the opportunity to stay at a legit campground in order to stay at a........KOA. So we can get internet and showers...sacrelig!!!!!
Above is a pic of Jer enjoying locally brewed beer and some killllller green chili at The Shed.
No apology needed for staying at a KOA......You need your showers and of course you need to keep us updated on your adventures through KOA internet. How many days can one go without connection to internet and the rest of the world.........I hate to ask for much....but would love to see pictures of Santa Fe.........Sounds like you're keeping busy....is the weather getting any better? Stay safe Roadsters of Glory!
