"I think that New Mexico was the greatest experience from the outside world that I ever had.
It certainly changed me forever ... The moment I saw the brilliant proud morning (sun) shine high up over the deserts of Santa Fe,
something stood still in my soul."

The ruins of the mission church at Pecos
This church was built as a Spanish Catholic Mission, called Mission Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles de Porciúncula de los Pecos -- in the 1600s -- to serve the people of the Pecos Pueblo.
These pictures are great! I've been struggling with finding a way to introduce the idea of a New Mexico fact-finding trip next year, given that money is still going to be a little tight.
I "accidentally" left a few windows open on my computer at home over the weekend to see what the response would be:
- Orbitz pricing for two round trip tickets to Albuquerque in Feb. - Some listing for homes in our range in both Albuquerque and Santa Fe.
It worked like a charm - Mrs. DaveG cannot resist peeking at my computer when I leave it unattended.
Ya know, Sharon, if you had posted the pics without supporting narrative I'd have thought I was looking at the ruins of an Aztec or Inca temple! (I always get the two confused... pick whichever is correct)
But I suppose the adobe is a dead give-away, tho. Brilliant shots!

Um - wow. That is just gorgeous.
