Day 57 – Travel Day from Gallup to Santa Fe NM – 190 miles


This morning our friend, the KOA dog, was still hanging around our RV. Bill had given him some ham when he left to go to Denny’s next door for breakfast. Bill brought me back some coffee. We packed up, and it was all I could do to leave the puppy behind. He still wanted to sleep under our RV, and I had to give him some more ham to make sure he was out of the way when we left. He did follow us all the way to the gate. He is the star of today's photo!

The drive to Santa Fe was pleasant and pretty and uneventful. We got checked in, parked, and set up. It isn’t a bad little RV park with some long termers in the back.

We arranged to go to cousin Nancy and Ken’s for dinner. Bill went out and found a good cigar store and stocked up. We left at 5 for the 13 mile trip out in the middle of nowhere to Nancy and Ken’s house. They have a beautiful home on a golf course. We chatted for an hour or so and then had a wonderful meal. Nancy fixed a great salad of tomatoes, jacama, corn, and black beans. She also had some wonderful mac and cheese, and asparagus wrapped in phylo dough along with a pork loin that Ken cooked on the grill. For dessert we had an apple tart a la mode. One of the best meals we have had in weeks!

A pleasant day.
