We left home on Wednesday May 6th, visited with our daughter in Hemet, Ca. till the 12th and headed for New Mexico. We saw a lot of scenery and stayed in a few really pretty places. We were on the road for 20 days and traveled 2980 miles, obviously a pretty laid back trip. Along the way we stayed in Brenda (Quartzite) and Benson AZ. We passed into New Mexico and stayed in Silver City, Deming, Roswell, Santa Fe, Red River, Albuquerque and Meteor Crater, about 30 miles east of Flagstaff.

Did a fair amount of sight seeing and eating. For you Food Network Channel people we ate at 3 places featured on Diner, Drive-ins and Dives. Our old dog Marlowe got sick in Santa Fe and needed emergency surgery 3 days before his 15 birthday. All went well and he is fine now. We had to spend a few more days in Santa Fe than we had planned but if you have to be stranded somewhere Santa Fe isn't a bad place to be.
