How in the world did I forget to mention in my last installment that when we left Pagosa Springs we drove south to Santa Fe, NM.  What a great time we had here.  We even extended our stay another day so we could take it all in.  There are more places to eat in this town than we could ever hope to be in but I think we tried.  It was all good.  Shopping is the main thing on most peoples mind when they come to Santa Fe and for good reason.  Art of all kinds in available almost everywhere.  And Canyon road was a great adventure.  We spent most of one day just walking up one side of the street and than down the other, mossing into little building full of art of all kinds. 
After Santa Fe we were planning to spend a night in Albuquerque, NM and have dinner with some friend but they weren't  going to be in town so we drove on the Williams AZ, just west of Flagstaff.  We spent most of one day at the Grand Canyon.  The last time we were there it wasn't nearly as beautiful as it is now.  Just like us, the older it gets the more good looking it becomes. 
The next day, Sunday we drove to Mesa.  We  are planning to go back up I-17, the highway between Flagstaff and Mesa to visit Sedona.  We understand it's nearly a sin not to visit this area if we are close so we'll make that happen. 
OK, now we've been in Mesa a week.  We have put a lot of miles on the car and fill as if we are getting somewhat acclimated to the area.  We at least can now find our way back home.

For now, Later Friends
