Phoenix, AZ to Santa Fe, NM








Route 66- I don't think any part of the drive will be able to beat this. It was irreverent and ridiculous and I loved it. Also, I don't think any stop will beat Santa Fe. Santa Fe is a sweet town, and we wished we could have stayed longer. We wandered down the narrow streets, peeking into courtyards full of lights and peppers hanging from the walls, listening to music from guitarists and bands, and both thought that we could live there some day. David said, "It captured my heart." More pics of Santa Fe to come.

Highlights:
- Driving through Holbrook, a stop on Route 66. Dinos, tee pees, murals, everything.
- An unexpected time change (1 hour difference) meant that our drive was shorter than planned. Nice!

Lowlight:
- For months we had planned to have a burger from the famous Bobcat Bite Restaurant. We called on our way and they said, "We're out of meat. Oh, and we close at 7:15." We were set to arrive right at 7:15.

Scholars and historians the world around believe, unquestioningly, that tee pees were an innovation of the Native Americans of the Great Plains.

Those fools!

As the third picture from the top clearly demonstrates, teepees were first introduced by the dinosaurs.

Credit where credit is due, that's my motto.
