It was a beautiful morning in New Mexico today as we woke up to an energetic greeting from Kelly, Angie's Boston Terrier. Angie made us a lovely breakfast and then drove us to Trader Joe's to find Piñon Coffee, a famous coffee blend made in New Mexico. This was our last stop before heading to our next destination, Arizona. We said our goodbyes to Angie, as well as congratulated the bride-to-be on the start of a new chapter in her life.
Driving through NM's vast landscape and seeing its majestic horses along the way were truly a sight to see. As we drove along, we made a slight detour to the only place in the United States where four states meet, the Four Corners Monument. For anyone making a drive close to this area, we recommend you to stop by just so you can say that you have been in four places at once. Note: there is an admission fee for each person; do not just drive past the little hut after the stop sign, they will yell at you. But fear not, they will not come after you in 100°F+ weather (not that we're speaking from experience or anything...). Also note: admission is $5 per person, but it's free if you accidentally drive past the entrance fee hut and do not get chased after. After parking, we walked to the monument and took pictures at the exact location where the four states meet and bought a few more souvenirs.
After sweating around at Four Corners for an hour or so, it was time for us to get back on the road again to get to our hosts' home in Arizona. After driving past more grand landscapes, dust clouds, horses, sheep (in the desert), and cacti we finally made it to our destination, and just in time for dinner too!

We had a fun/interesting conversation with the Dimang family and watched some Netflix shows afterward. Then we called it a night to rest for our next adventure.
