Click on the photos below to launch a slideshow of photos from Vancouver and Seatlle, hopefully this works and planning to get all pics up in next couple of days. Currently in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. A pretty small town, population about 8000 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_or_Consequences,_New_Mexico
famed for its hot springs and home town to mass murderer David Parker Ray who was sentenced to 224 years in prison for murdering a least 12 -60 people. Visiting an old friend from Birmingham, Lucy who is doing a work trade with a hot springs resort on the river. Staying with a lovely couchsurfing host Maya and her gorgeous dog Chica. Its a real friendly town, had my breakfast paid for today by Gil, a 62 year old retired New Mexican, we talked for over an hour over a traditional US breakfast of pancakes, bacon and eggs washed down with plenty of coffee. I bought a very nice sheepskin coat from a jumble sale for $2 as it gets really cold at night, even though we are in the desert. Trained some kung fu with Lucy, she still remembers her Lau Gar forms which is great and showed her some Wing Chun too. Planning on going to an art hop and then doing a hike befoe leaving on Sunday. Not that much else to do here, but it is a town full of very friendly characters. According to my pal Gil it is the closest you will find in the USA to what the Old West was like
