This morning we found that there had been a little rain overnight…
Today is a travel day, so we started by doing a little laundry, cleaning up, and hitching up The Villa. We pulled out of the RV park about 9:30. Today’s travel is to the Pueblo of Pojoaque, just north of Santa Fe. It is only about 85 miles from Albuquerque… An easy drive…
We stopped alongside the freeway after about an hour to stretch our legs and to keep our Apple watches happy…
Since we could not check into the next RV park until after noon, we took a detour to chase down the two Frank Lloyd Wright houses in New Mexico…
A few miles north of Pecos is the Alfred Friedman House, “Fir Tree” (1945). The good news is that we found it easily; the bad news is that it is not visible from the street and it is a private residence, not open to the public…
We respected their privacy and did not pull The Villa up their driveway…
We turned around at the next wide spot in the road, getting mud all over The Villa. We headed into Sante Fe and looked for the “Pottery House”, 1984. Obviously, this was built long after FLLW’s death; he did the design in the early 1950s; the lot and the plans were purchased by a builder, who modified and enlarged the house. It may or may not be a “real” Frank Lloyd Wright house – but we’ll never know. We could not find it.
So on we went, to the RV park in Pojoaque. We set up (in the rain…) and walked around. It is very sparse and bleak in the RV park, but the surrounding high desert is quite pretty…
Tonight we enjoyed a dinner with the caravaners at Gabriel’s, a very nice New Mexican restaurant near by; we rode along with caravan neighbors from Houston…
We returned to The Villa, and enjoyed a lovely sunset…
An enjoyable time was had by all…
