We happily drove into New Mexico this morning, and saw wildly different cities and topography through the day. Tucumcari's bit of Route 66 includes broken down hotels, partially scrapped trailer parks (with ancient electrical supply apparatus), and remnants of gas stations and souvenir stands. In contrast, Las Vegas is rebuilding itself, trying to make the most of multiple national historic register buildings. By the end of the day we were strolling along the streets of Santa Fe. Fun art, good food. The landscape changed drastically as well. We crossed from high prairie to mesas & buttes before climbing over the Sangre de Cristo mountains. The views were spectacular.
