Yesterday we were driving towards Santa Fe from Arches and noticed that Mesa Verde is actually on the way. We had originally planned on skipping Mesa Verde, seeing Guadelupe Nat’l Park instead. However, Guadelupe was out of the way, Mesa Verde wasn’t. Therefore, we stopped by. As is necessary with lots of the roads we drove on, there was construction. Not bad construction, normally done in 5-10 minutes, but the kind where you wait, follow a car on a skinny windy path for a long time, then you’re free. Once we got to the top of the mountains (why did they choose such a cliff like place to live?! Not cool. Amy no like cliffs.) we couldn’t really go to a lot of places without a) a ticket, and b) with a dog. We would do two methods: Laura goes and sees it and Amy stays in the car to make sure it doesn’t get too hot, or we go, but are gone for no longer then 2 minutes, with windows down and with lots of water for max.
We didn’t get on the road again until closer to dinner time, but we managed to get to Santa Fe, which was our goal. We slept in the car again, about 100 yards uphill from a campground. We just stayed in the parking lot. Its cheaper. J This morning we drove around Santa Fe, the capital, a very beautiful place. You’ll see pictures, but it was all adobe and themed and very nice, very spanish. (New Mexico definitely gets two thumbs up, Santa Fe in particular).
After lots of driving (through Northern Texas) we got to Oklahoma. By the way, I (Amy) LOVE southern accents. Oklahoma also gets two thumbs up (so far, its where we’re gonna stay tonight). We went to this little park that was completely flooding, but it was during sunset and it was amazing beautiful. We like the people there too! There were some really funny campers who joked with us.
And finally, we bought the camera adapter so now we can put picutres up on photobucket. Not like you ever knew the difference, seeing as we haven’t even had internet yet to post these up.
But there you go! A nice little update. Hopefully eventually we can actually get these posts up.

Mahaha, I would just like to point out that I posted before Sarah. I haven't actually read the post, but I posted first.
Eat my socks, Sarah!
Just joking, I love you Sarah.
And you too Laura.
And maybe Amy, but only if she draws me graffiti.
You guys should talk in souther accents while you are down there and see if anyone can tell!
Shelley...you are hilarious. And crazy.
Amy doesn’t like cliffs but does enjoy stationing herself mere feet away from moving trains.... interesting. Sounds cool... Godzilla want see photos!
