Back in the clutches of virtual reality (wifi), I'll begin posting again regularly from our various hotels as we get to them on this vacation. I'm in Taos now and have been traveling around the eastern area of Arizona and now into the New Mexico area including Zuni, Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Taos.
Being a shorehugger from the Groove (specifically), my lips are dry and cracked from the dry air. The land is anything but lonesome, but certainly the elevation is high, mostly above 4,000 ft. I'm thinking about Edward Abbey, Ansel Adams, conquistadores, native people, coyotes, lava, volcanos, continental shelf uplifts and all the forces of nature and god that are so evident in every direction. History goes much deeper here, with conflict, boom and bust literally written in stone at times.
It is wild and unruly country that grabs you by the throat and grips your heart. Even so, the folks currently living and abiding here are friendly and warm, each and every one so far.
So, beginning tomorrow, I'm back in the writing groove again. Much to tell, and much more to see. Loving it all so far.
