Day 13: Route 25 from Colorado to Santa Fe

Drove almost 400 miles today, back to my usual "limit".  Went through the most torrential downpour that I've experienced; too bad I can't send it to Kansas where they need it!  Saw an unusual sight: two halves of a modular/mobile home being transported and, when one overtook the other, I took a snapshot.  Hard to see but worth a look.

Hiked 3.5 miles in the Garden of the Gods this morning, it was fabulous, not many people and spectacular views of all the red rocks.  Arrived safely in Santa Fe, staying in the Silver Saddle Motel, and here's what they have to say about the place:
A kitschy Western style Santa Fe motel that has been welcoming budget travelers for the past 50 years. The motel is a roadside original which allows travelers to experience a bit of old southwest history and charm. 
So far, so good, I like it.  And they have bikes to borrow to bike into old Santa Fe, what's not to like?  I'll spend two nights here and try to visit Taos while I'm here.
Good mexican food tonight at the Cafe Castro (nothing Cuban on the menu as far as I could tell).
