Onto day 5 of the trip - and by the end of the day I was at least half way through, reaching Amarillo, a city that is most famous for having the largest cattle market in the world (and i thought that was the Bigg Market in Newcastle on a Saturday night!).
This was a day that had a lot of desert driving through New Mexico and some mountains - crossing the Sangre de Cristo mountains - all beautiful, but without the outstanding moments of previous days.
The day started in Santa Fe, and then drove up to Taos via the Rio Grande gorge. Taos itself was a pretty little new Mexican town. Just south of Taos itself was Rancho de Taos, including an adobe church from Spanish times.
I stopped for lunch at Las Vegas, New Mexico - not the famous one (as you can see from main street below), but a historic town that seemingly stopped building in about 1910.
