You're so lucky to live in Santa Fe. We've visited New Mexico several times over the past few years in preparation for this lifestyle and always ended up in Santa Fe. It's one of my favorite places. There is a really nice state park in Las Vegas so we'll probably be staying there a lot in the next few years.

You all are starting to worry me about the nosebleeds. I'm prone to them anyway, to the point of having to take blood thickeners when I was younger. It's good to know to expect them though or it might have scared me when I started getting them again.

We definitely want to check out the Very Large Array. We plan to spend more time in that side of the state when we return this Fall, so we might wait until then.

We're in Artesia now. I think we're headed towards the state park near Carlsbad next and then the one near Roswell after that. I'm excited to see Roswell. I hear it's kind of quirky and fun.

Speaking of quirky, have you ever been to Tinkertown? That's not too far from Santa Fe. I loved that place.
