We headed out early from the RV park at 7:40 am to try to beat the heat. We drove for about 1-2 hour increments, pulled over for a break, and ate. That lasted until Santa Fe, NM. Then, we drove straight to Albuquerque to air-conditioned hotel rooms. The scenery for today was mostly dry land with the occasional bushes and farms with cows and plenty of wind in Texas. The upward climb began in New Mexico. We reached 6800 feet in Santa Fe and 5000 feet in Albuquerque. Not so hot in New Mexico, windows open and a nice breeze followed us.
We stopped at the Georgia O’Keefe Museum in Santa Fe and walked around downtown for a half an hour. Most buildings are one story in the state’s capitol. A center plaza had open market vendors surrounding the green. The city seemed like a compact Laguna with plenty of museums and artsy stores within walking distance.
