To Tucumcari

Well, the last two days have been amazing.  The scenery has been amazing!  We stayed in a lovely hotel Inn on the Alameda  Brilliant food too!  This morning we spent time in Santa Fe which is a simply beautiful city.  Very artistic - lovely buildings too.




















Some of these are from the  art gallery which was really good.  We also visited the chapel and saw the Miraculous Staircase which was really very impressive.
Set off for Tucumcari and it started to snow!  Big snowstorm to drive through and it's a long time since I did that!
We rang the Blue Swallow Motel - which is an iconic venue on Route 66 to see if they had a room.  Sadly they didn't ........... then 15 minutes later, they rang us back.  The people who had booked the room, had got there too early and so wanted to drive on and did we still want the room?  You betcha!
