Sunrise from David and Palma’s home plus some photos of their house from the outside.

We reluctantly left Santa Fe after a great visit with David and Palma, touring around the beautiful city, and great meals at both at their house and in Santa Fe.

We drove the High Road to Taos with a stop at El Santuario De Chimayo, and a great lunch at Sugar Nymph Bistro in Penasco.

After a brief drive around Taos, we headed to Mesa Verde through some stunning and solitary country and over a 10,000 foot high mountain range. About three weeks ago we were at 3 foot elevation in the Everglades. What a difference.

We are camping at 7800 feet altitude near Mesa Verde national park which we will explore tomorrow.
