Dallas - Oklahoma City, OK - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Hey Hey - Just to let you know we've managed to make it to our 16th state, New Mexico!!!!!! We've driven about 760 miles today, which is a bit crazy really but we've done well, and managed to arrive in Santa Fe before midnight - We're in the Mountain time zone now though, so we're 7 hours behind you guys in the UK as oppose to the 6 we were yesterday!!

But yeah, Dallas was cool yesterday, especially as I randomly got to see one my friends from Uni last night who is living there doing some 'Soccer' coaching for the company I used to work for. As for today; We drove up to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma from Dallas & had a quick look around, mainly at the memorial for the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, before embarking upon the mammoth drive West to here!! We were literally on the '40 West' for about 500 miles of the hike!! Had some absolutely unbelieveable storms tonight too from about 7pm as we crossed from upstate Texas into New Mexico, had to just stop the car at the side of the road with the hazard lights on at one point it was that bad - you've never seen rain or lightening like it!!!!!!! Obviously we found it awesome though!!

Luckily we don't have as far to drive tomorrow, just the 350-400 or so miles up to Denver, Colorado. Then we're going to stay somewhere West of there, ahead of getting up early on Wednesday to drive down Monument Valley & get to the Grand Canyon!!!!!!! So exciting times ahead...especially as we'll be heading to Vegas for Thursday and Friday night!! :-)
