I'm in New Mexico!!!

Heyho,

after 18 hours riding the Southwest Chief #4 (which had a lot of room for my legs,see pic above) I finally arrived at Lamy,New Mexico, where I was picked up by a friend and together we went to Santa Fe - a lovely city (the pueblo-style buildings are sooo nice!Hope you can see it at the pic) .That was yesterday.

Now today we drove some hours to get to Alamogordo,also a really nice town and that's where I'm gonna live until sunday (I had one of the best burgers around the world so far :) )

This state is as big as Germany but as a population of probably less than 10 million :D

As you can imagine there are not too many houses along the highways and interstates but big mountains and ,,Open Range" :)

Climate is atm like summer in Germany,maybe a bit cooler,but in summer it get's here about 40 degrees (Celsius).
I like it here and -oh ,almost forgot: IT IS TRUE,some Americans take there house along when moving from one place to another, today a truck with a whole house on its trailer passed us,but I was not quick enough to take a picture :D

I'm fine so far and I'll have a great stay here,I'm sure, so good to have friends all over the world - and such nice ones!!!!!!!!!!

You'll hear from me the next couple of days!

Chris
