Santa Fe, New Mexico, November 9th

PULLED INTO SANTA FE around 9p after spending all morning and a big chunk of the afternoon at the aforementioned El Paso Starbucks. It was way later into the evening than I had planned (Robert departed for Santa Fe earlier with no self-imposed speed limit like me and arrived a lot sooner).

Albuquerque, New Mexico, November 21st to the 26th

It was around noon, the day before Thanksgiving, that I finally got to Albuquerque. I was there to visit an old Austin friend, Chiquita, who knew I was traveling and had invited me to spend that singular American (made-up) holiday with her.
