is terrific! We've been having a lot of fun. Ricardo and I flew to El Paso, then rented a car and drove up to Santa Fe, NM. We've stayed here 3 days and tomorrow we drive back down to spend some time in Mexico with his family, and finish up our trip by seeing some friends get married in Palomas, Mexico.
Picture highlights from our vacationing so far...
Vacation started off REALLY WELL...turns out our gate at the airport was next to a flight taking the L.A. Galaxy (soccer team) back to California...so I got to take Ricardo's picture with...yes...that's him: David Beckham.
1am Dallas time...we're at Juan and Celina's house in El Paso, I'm trying on my new Saudi Arabian dress that Juan brought back for me. Ricardo got dressed up too, to look the part!
Driving to Santa Fe...we stopped in Hatch, NM, chile capital of the world!
Where's the river???
St. Francis Cathedral in Santa Fe.
Breakfast and New York Times while Ricardo explored and took pictures
Loretto Chapel, and the Miraculous Staircase
We went to a Painting place and spent an afternoon being perfectionists.
I made a plate and chalice for communion...I'm excited to pick them up tomorrow and see what they look like. They'll be a whole lot brighter than what they look like now, I'm sure I'll be shocked. I got used to the pastel-looking colors.
Ricardo made a chips & salsa plate for his mom!
Me hanging out with an R2D2 mailbox.
The oldest church in the United States: San Miguel Mission.
We rented mountain bikes and killed our legs riding up the mountain.
After we made it back down!
me joining the "water ladies" statues....
Hanging out in Starbucks...we loved the tile on the outside of the building!
So, that's what we've done so far, besides hanging out and walking around. Our hotel is really cute, and right now I'm in bed and enjoying the channels that we get here (more than home!)...and am watching reruns of Top Chef! I'll post more pictures later on, good night for now!
