Java Junction, Madrid, New Mexico

A little artsy enclave in Madrid, NM (pronounced MAD-rid, not Ma-drid). Best coffee I've had in a long time.

Roadside Service Station

American Pickers would love this place! I was a little more worried about getting shot for trespassing.

San Miguel Church

San Miguel Church built circa 1610 which coincidentally is the same year the City of Santa Fe was founded.

New Mexico

New Mexico was nice but different. Surely I could not live there. For one thing I would miss the ocean and two everyone there looks like me! To prove this point, Mom and I stopped at Kohl's in Santa Fe (I needed sunglasses), a latino woman asked me in spanish if I spoke spanish. The Latinos can't even tell that I'm not one of them!

Anyways the trip went well, got to see a few more National Parks, got a new Pendleton blanket, and hung out with my momma. Pictures to come soon.

Preparing for Anchorage

My new laptop has this cute little application called Photo Booth, which allows me to take a photo using my laptop and immediately upload it. Here's me trying it out and showing you my new Snowboarding coat that I'll be breaking in next week in Anchorage when my sweet friend Heather is going to attempt to teach me how to Snowboard. And for those of you out there who know me well I will be taking precautions like wearing a helmet, since I'm about the most clumsy person on the face of the planet! Wish me luck!

Laptop

Once again I'm having issues with my laptop. It continues to shut itself off for no reason and freeze(usually while in screensaver mode). I've run multiple diagnostics as well as made repairs, no change. I've decided to switch to Mac, primarily based on my experience with my iPhone (which I'm currently using since my laptop is a expensive paper weight right now). I've been looking into a MacBook Pro and was wondering if anyone out there had any suggestions? Anything would be great, thanks!

Christmas in Ohio

Hi All,

I thought I'd update, not that anything is really going on but I have the time. I'm stuck here in Ketchikan until Monday and am bored to tears. The weather is kinda of a bummer. It's been hovering near 50 and raining since Tuesday. I know, I know, you all have snow and are cursing my name right now but I like the snow. Plus I got a new pair of snowshoes that I'm itching to break in.

Nothing big to report. I'll probably spend the rest of January in Sitka. I'd like to actually unpack and get settled considering I've technically lived there a month but I've only spent two nights. Looking forward to discovering my new city.

Oh Momma and I are thinking of heading to New Mexico in March does anyone have any suggestions? We're planning to fly into Albuquerque and head up to Santa Fe. The City of Santa Fe is celebrating is 400 year anniversary this year. I'm also hoping to touring Carlsbad Caverns and a few pueblos.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Luv,
Meg
