New Mexico = Old Buildings

(Sean) Our journey today took us up a portion of the Santa Fe Trail (a pre-1937 alignment of Route 66) to the capitol city of New Mexico. After quite a ride on roads of varying conditions,

as well as a stop at Pecos National Park,

we arrived in the city of Santa Fe. Deciding to let the experts guide us in our visit, we followed signage to a visitors center not far from downtown.

There we learned that we were walking distance from the State Capitol building,

the oldest church in the U.S.,

and the oldest house in the U.S.

We took in all of these sights as well as some local cuisine, before hitting the road again, touring the rest of the downtown area by car

and heading south for Albequrque.

I guess we were all "sight-see'd" out by the time we got to Albuqurque, so we found a decent motel (Econolodge)

near the University of New Mexico, hit the pool for a bit, then odered a pizza for dinner before calling it a night.
