The great American Road Trip

It has been some time since our last entry. Sara and I have been rediscovering the wonders of the United States.

Three weeks visiting Sara's Mom & Dad in Arizona and preparing for the move passed too quickly. I spent a few days underneath the xterra with Charlie replacing a rear main seal and oil pan gasket.

Finally it was departure time. On day one we only crossed into one state...New Mexico.

The drive through rim country from Phoenix was delightful and reminded us of the wide open spaces that the west still has to offer.

We were greeted warmly by Mike Shawver and Rosie who are to be wed next weekend. They hosted us to a delightful home cooked dinner and showed us the sights of downtown Albuquerque.
