SEPTEMBER BACKROADS


Each year my man has 40 vacation days
He seldom uses 10

This September he had planned to attend a conference in Quebec City
plans, tours, classes, dinner reservations....

when we went to book our seats the day before we were to leave...
CANCELLED
our international flights began in Houston and due to HARVEY
all things changed

10 days...what to do now?

PLAN B
(is always my Plan A)

a drive to our neighboring Land of Enchantment
only this time we would do things we have not done before
BACKROADS

Looking for FENN'S TREASURE

have you heard of it?

one of us was convinced it was in 




The Native Indians have been coming to these healing waters for hundreds of years
(you can always tell a Texan by the swim trunks he wears)
Z.E.N.


a drive to Bandelier National Monument to hike through the cliff dwellings






The Lavender Farm
(you can always tell a Texan by the way he holds his zen rake)


we stopped at lots of old mission churches on several Indian Reservations


this is, in real life,
the.middle.of.no.where.
the monks grow hops and make beer


My favorite place of all that I am now slightly obsessed with
she deserves further study!


I absolutely love the southwest
I love Oklahoma, New Mexico and of course Texas
if you are into seeking peace and beauty...these areas are for you
full of soul and
wide open*wide open*wide open

ps...Fenn's Treasure is still out there!
