There is a magical little town on the scenic High Road to Taos called Truchas. It has one of the best views in the area – one so beautiful that it is near impossible to capture with a camera. If you go straight where Highway 76 bends towards Taos, you will make your way along a narrow paved road filled with small homes and farms. If you turn at the bend, you will find a wall of graffiti to include a spaceship and other painted arts.
Buffalo Thunder is a Hilton Casino and Hotel just to the north side of Santa Fe. It is full of art from the area, and even if you are not a Casino fan, you should stop in for a visit. They have done a great job with this place.
The Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi or Saint Francis Cathedral is a beautiful piece of history located about a block away from the Downtown Santa Fe Plaza.
These photographs will give you an idea of what it was like to drive across New Mexico today. *Note that neither the Cadillac nor the Bison belong to me. 🙂
I drove through West Texas today in route to a whole ‘nother state. The wind farms along the highways are most impressive. I pulled off onto a dirt road near Sweetwater, Texas. It rained a little bit while I took some photos and stood in awe watching these huge machines. The songs they sing as their blades spin are both eerie and enchanting.
I got the snow globe room! And geez people, you might have gotten a little crazy with the corner room. There is only one of me after all…
Here is a series of masterpieces I like to call “Sunset from a Plane”. 🙂
Lucky for me, there is a lot to see and do at the McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas. My Southwest Airlines flight has been delayed for at least an hour and changed gates at least once so far. I lunched at Pei Wei, read some on my Kindle, took some photos, and now I am looking for something exciting. I will report back if anything wonderful happens.
The Stratosphere was my home for the last 7 days. This joint has become my budget hotel of choice in Las Vegas. I really enjoyed my time there, and if you wanted to, you could stay on the property the whole time and have everything you need.
