I walked to the Santa Fe Plaza this morning to see all the
shops and walk around Santa Fe and check out some more art galleries and
museums. I saw a bunch of
watercolor paintings of the Santa Fe terrain and it was beautiful. I will definitely be experimenting with
that when I get back. I ate lunch
at a little restaurant and discovered my new love: prickly pear lemonade. It’s probably the most amazing thing
about this trip so far. I even
talked to my mom about learning to make it… It was glorious.
After that, I went to Black Canyon to set up my
campsite. It’s only about seven
miles from downtown, and so I can drive in whenever I want to, and come out
here to hike and sleep. As I was
setting up my tent, it started to downpour, and I ended up setting up a little
bivouac site to keep all my stuff dry, as well as the tent. It’s actually pretty nice and quiet
here and there aren’t a lot of others around. I’m going to read a bit, drink my hot tea that I just made,
and then try to sleep. Tomorrow is
a new day.
Also, there’s no cell service here, which means no setting
up my little iPad hotspot for my laptop, which means these posts are going to
be posted the next morning when I get into AT&T service.
