So many cars to inspect and admire!
Our caravan travel days are structured to give us each the freedom to travel at our own pace and take in as much as we'd like. One such optional opportunity was the Pecos National Historical Park, site of the remains of Indian pueblos from 1640 to 1800 A.D.
After a full travel day, Tina Poole, CEO of Adventure Caravans, surprised us by showing up at our campground ---- and bringing her famous margarita machine!
Party ON!

Tailgunner Rick Gilbert made the quesadillas, while Wagonmasters Terry and Barry Klein and Tailgunner Sharon put the final touches on a full course dinner of (New) Mexico classics! What a feast! Me gusta!
We also visited the Georgia O'Keefe gallery, the Museum of Folk Art, NM Museum of Fine Arts, and the NM Museum of Indian Arts. While most of the museums forbid photography, there were beautiful and unique exhibits in each. In the downtown plaza, we enjoyed shopping from the artisans and wonderful frito pies and burritos from the street vendors.
Our evening was a Route 66 Dinner and Dance Party at the home of Clarice, our trolley tour guide. Complete with DJ and all the tunes of Route 66, and decked out in our Route 66 finest, we rocked the neighborhood with our renditions You Ain't Nothin But a Hounddog, Blueberry Hill, Moon River, and Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree.
Pat & Tom Whittaker, Claudia Lee and Virginia Nehring give an enthusiastic effort with Moon River.
Randy & Liz Bradley, Nick Mellinger, and Joyce & Gary Weiss debut as The Hound Dogs! |
