Santa Fe to Los Alamos to Espanola
















Patrick said we had to visit the Chocolate Maven for breakfast. The restaurant is behind the Toyota Body Shop in a strip mall. You could not find it on your own! As you eat you watch the bakers making all the delicacies.
























We bought large cinnamon rolls to bring to our friends, Fabby and Nelson, in










Espanola. Here are a few beautiful sites along the way. The rocks, the mountains, the sky, the terrain--AWESOME!



























Here we are in Los Alamos. The city has an amazing history. This is the place where the Atomic Bomb was developed. John is standing by a statue of J. Robert Oppenheimer and General Grove.. We went to the museum which told the history of Los Alamos. When the scientists and their families moved here in the forties it was very secretive. No one could say where they were. All felt they were part of a historic mission--and they were! Our friends' son, Michael, works at the Los Alamos labs now. He is a bio-chemist and has invented a method of determining leaks in the glovebox(They are working on HOT stuff).









We loved the art gallery here and the museum is so interesting. Living in Los Alamos reminded me and John of living on a missile base. We were all united in the mission and made friends that have been with us forever.
