Cochiti Lake

Fresh air filled The Earth Module last night and Kadizzle slept well.  The sun is pouring in the windows with a great view of Lake Cochiti below.  The Commander is getting up to date on her laptop and NPR is playing in the background.  The big decision today is if we move on or spend another day here.  The Rio Grande starts here and runs clear to the Gulf of Mexico. It is the Rio Grand filling the lake.   We are right between Sante Fe and Albuquerque, New Mexico.  Both are sprawling cities in the semi desert.  The Spanish occupied this land long ago and of course the Catholic Church made a mess of Indian life as they do everywhere.  These Indians were peaceful farmers.  Not far from here is Tent Rocks a unique sacred area of wondrous tepee shaped rocks.

As The Commander noted the night was so peaceful without the any traffic or train sounds.  The combination of cool air coming down off the mountains and silence makes for some good sleeping.  If we stay here all day boredom will be the enemy.  The Commander says Kadizzle cannot unpack the mototcycle and go for a ride in the mountains.  We will see about that.
