I write this as we settle down for the night on our surprisingly still comfy air bed, in the back of our van. With only 6 nights left in here we are feeling somewhat relieved and sad at the same time. We've had some real adventures in this thing.

New Mexico has been and gone! A very quick visit, yet still very well worth the visit. It was fascinating seeing the different architectural styles. We arrived late, and found a spot in the forrest to sleep. What a lovely spot to wake up to!

We visited a small wildlife zoo in Albuquerque. This was really awesome as it is the only zoo in the world that has been built up by volunteer youth. They save animals that have been hurt or illegally taken from the wild, and that wouldn't survive back in the wild. It was a small place, but we were able to see a black bear, two baby mountain lions, coyote, wolves, alc and lots of birds with broken wings :-(

We drove right through Arizona to San Diego in California. Here we visited La Jolla Cove which was a very groovy place. Checked out all the lazy, moody seals on the beach and strolled the beach trail admiring the beachfront homes (mansions!).
