Arrived in Santa Fe, NM just before 2pm on Sunday, Father's Day. Decided to take the Turquoise Trail, Rt 14 instead of I-25 from Albuquerque. Scenic route through the country side with a couple cute little towns. Madrid was jammed packed with tourists on this Father's Day. Stopped at the Cerrillos Hills State Park for a lite lunch before getting into town as our friend Dan was still at work. He is an air traffic controller at the Santa Fe airport. Dan got off and home at 2 and after getting the luggage in and electric connected to the trailer we had a leisure afternoon catching up. Last time we were together was Nov, 2016.

Monday a little tour of Old Town Santa Fe. Lots of places closed and all the museums are closed as well. Some photos from the walk around town.
 A distant shot of the Cathedral Basilica of St Francis of Assisi.
Museum of Contemporary Native Arts

The City Park and some of the architecture.
The "End of the Journey" sculpture at the end of the Santa Fe trail.
Another day of relaxation tomorrow before we hit the road again Wed headed for Gulf Shores.

    Earlier this morning, I was looking at Basilica de St. Francis of Assissi, Italy. Now, I see we have another to visit in NM. Safe travels, my friends.

June 27 Sat was intended to be a relaxing day. Deb and Roz went for an early morning walk on the beach.  Bob went to play golf with a really good friend of many years. I got cleaned up in anticipation of a day by the pool. We had access to one of the many premier condo complexes pools with a lazy river flowing around it.  Bob's son works for Phoenix which owns about 25 condo complexes in the area and is able to provide access to the best amenities. This is one of the more modern ones and adjoins the water with boat docks and lifts for the owners. The afternoon was spent lounging in my brothers condo as the humidity really takes it out of you. June 28 The area is packed with what we hope is more weekenders than people here for the whole week. Going to make today another lazy day. A good breakfast and a little golf on tv. Then we decided on a trip to Culver's for an ice cream treat. After dinner we went to the complex next door where my brother has another smaller unit for a bag...

The trip was planned within a 30 day time frame and the decision to depart June 19 was to not miss any Hospice meetings.

We cruised smoothly through Sacramento and we were just north of Bakersfield at lunch time and stopped in a neat little city park in Oildale where we snacked on egg salad and watermelon. Back on the road we easily made Newberry Springs about 3:30 where we stopped for the night at Newberry Mountain RV Park. Really clean park with reasonable f...
