Leaving Iowa for the Southwest















I left this morning at 8:00 for New Mexico.  It was pouring down rain most of the way to St. Paul.  I flew out at 11:30 on a direct flight to Albuquerque, New Mexico for the week I will be spending studying the history of the area.  Pictured is the Historic Plaza in the downtown area.  The Plaza itself has been here since 1610 and has been a National Historical Landmark since 1962.  Museums, shops, galleries and restaurants surround the Plaza.  It was extremely hot, dry and windy here today.  My workshop starts tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. so I have some time to visit some galleries and the Museum of Fine Art tomorrow.
