Lazy Sunday mornings
Sure enough, there were skunks out and about last night. And sure enough, about 1AM I woke up to smell that sweet pungent scent of skunk spray. Not to mention the five other times I woke up between then and 8AM, due to, amongst other things, dogs, people, motorcycles, coldness, and what possibly might have been a coyote yelping. Camping is not for me. Erin and Adina decided to go on a hike this morning before we got going. Two hours up into the mountains at 9AM. I myself am sitting in a lovely little café in downtown Arroyo Seco (where our hostel is), called the Taos Cow, drinking some chai, reading the paper, and enjoying the free wireless. Later I’ll stop in several of the little arts and antiques stores in the downtown area (which is about 1000 feet long). We all have our ideas of a good Sunday morning, and that one is mine. If you see the photos below, you’ll see where we spent the night last night. It’s a good tent, it served its purpose. I guess.

HURRAY! I loved having lots to read on your blog this afternoon, even though we just talked to you last night. Very well done, as usual, and I completely concur about lazy Sunday mornings. Do go hiking sometime though - it's much better out west than around here.
Ok, I won't make it as a blogger. I was trying to sign "Kelly's Mom", and somehow I only signed "Kelly" before it posted on me! So, it looks like someone named Kelly left a comment for you.
These stories are really great - they capture the moment of the place very well. You guys are clearly seeing lots more of every place along the way than the average tourist. I'm going to be sad to see these end, but I intend to enjoy them to the max. Get yourself a book agent, Kelly, you're onto something publishable here!
