SUNDAY - A Day of Rest!

Hi All!

Sunday we attended mass at Gallup's beautiful all red brick Catholic Cathedral. We then viewed the murals on downtown buildings designed by local artists. They were bold and colorful and rich with history. The town was relatively quiet as shops are closed on Sunday .....no alcohol sales on Sunday either!!! We meandered out to Red Rock State Park thinking maybe we would hike around some of this 640 acre park framed on 3 sides with SPECTACULAR red sandstone formations. I loved the way the architects made the huge outdoor arena blend into the landscape. As we were looking around we noticed large black clouds heading in our direction...sure thing.....thunder, lightening and rain were upon us. Were they trying to tell us something? We took the cue and decided it was time to go back to our campground and REST!
