The stay at the Rancheros de Santa Fe was pleasant. We didn’t unhook the truck, so departure was easy. We were given directions to the Santa Fe Plaza area- there is a parking lot that is set up for RV parking – and we got there early enough to get a place- yay! We took advice from the parking attendant for breakfast and ate at Tia Sophia’s. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Then we wandered a bit- looking at shops and not spending any money. There were some amazing boots for a mere $650! They didn’t come along on the trip with us. ;o)
We stopped at a French bakery with crepes, paid way too much for fancy “dessert” crepes-that, if they were on Chopped, would have been criticized for being too savory. They made crepes that were pretty flavorless, added in fresh berries with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, squirted some whipped cream on the sides and called it done. I enjoyed mine, you understand, but the kids were pretty disappointed by the whole thing. By the time we were rolling out of Santa Fe, after stopping for gas, it was after 11:00. So, pnce again, we were on the road late.
We were headed to Childress, TX, which was 6 some hours away, through temps in the upper 90s into 100. We drove pretty much straight through, with one stop for more gas and a restroom break.
There is a pool, since we are camping behind a Best Western. They don't allow any of their campers to use the restroom or shower facilities, though, since RVs are supposed to be self contained. sigh. Tried to negotiate a reduced rate to use just the shower and bathroom, but the most they will come down is 35%, which is pretty excessive. We may end up using the outside faucet tomorrow morning!
Tomorrow, we are supposed to meet one of Joe's cousins near Dallas. Hopefully, we won't head out too late!
