MARGARITAVILLE

Ole' greetings from beautiful downtown Santa Fe - We left early this morning 8:30, being on mountain time surely helps, and traveled a 170 miles to Santa Fe By lunch time we were having Margaritas and Coronas sitting on a balcony watching a 9/11 memorial parade go by. It seems so unbelievable for us to be here - I guess we don't look exactly like the average tourist - we seem to meet an assortment of characters - there were the Thompsons from Rhode Island - we almost grabbed their table but realized that we were listed as Bob not Thompson. I think that by the time we left the restaurant we knew everyone who rode - all pretty cool!!! It was real nice to be able to walk around the city - it has a couple of malls and lots of art, jewely, and indian artifacts. There only seems to be one problem......if only I hadn't packed so much STUFF I might be able to buy some very neat clothes. There was a fabulous leather jacket and a couple of tops that seemed to be calling my name but where would I put them....how many layers can I wear before I roll off the bike????? I am looking for a wonderful passage piece though and there are many, many options so I am sure one will make it home with me: ) We hear there are a few places in town with live music - will have to check them out later. We will be here until probably Saturday - so yes it is time to slow down and smell the cactus. Soooo how do you know if you are in New Mexico??? you can travel more than 100 miles and not see a structure along the road - I mean not a house or barn or even a mailbox we are like in "Billy the Kid" territory Ride em cowboy yahoo and stuff like that haha- - Love hearing from everyone - if you can't get on the comments screen email me - this way I can save your address and we all can keep in touch. Sure do miss you......ya'll have a great day - enjoy and keep smiling - happy trails Flame and the Big Dog.
