Bitter sweet...home coming while leaving a lovely place. In 2004, I was invited to work and live in New Mexico. I turned it down, as my boy was still in high school, and I had only been home for one year, having spent the last three years living and working in California.
In 2005, I was invited to take a series of two to three week business trips to New Mexico...which my husband and I enjoyed very much. In 2006, I was invited once again, to live and work in New Mexico...and accepted the offer, which was to last only one year. Well, it's been longer than that...and we're finally going home again, home to Texas. The thing is, New Mexico truly is a land of enchantment...and we've been thoroughly enchanted.
Perfect adventure touring roads...
Super fun pavement...
Beautiful scenery...and fantastic views
Places to let loose the fun in the KLRs...
We're going to miss all that, and many more things that I'm sure I'm forgetting at the moment, but I think what we'll miss most, is the silence.
No man made sounds of any kinds (while our KLRs are resting).....
no planes, trains, cars or trucks...no human voices, no radio.......
just birds, bugs, and wind in the trees...or thunder.
Our rides are always only day rides, because we're tied to the house by our dogs. We don't like to leave them in the house alone too long...which makes it harder to find new places, but believe it or not...we still do.
During our last month or so here...you can bet your bottom dollar that we'll be out riding and shooting photos, every chance we get. I'll continue to add stuff here, and hopefully, I won't bore y'all, but rather pass on our enchantment.
