The South-West, here I come

Monday morning, September 29th I fly to New Mexico to see an old friend and to go to the hot air balloon festival.

Patsy, her daughter, and her grand daughter pick me up and we drive 160 miles to Farmington in the north-western corner of the state.  We drive through beautiful desert country...red bluffs, mesas with big open skies full of storm clouds, blue sky, and rainbows.

I meet her family for the first time and so this adventure begins with family and good food.

And a river walk in town.....

Tomorrow we head out on the road toward Colorado and then east to see what we can see.
