First full Rally Day

This Was the first full day of the Rally.  There were no seminars scheduled that we wanted to see so we planned on going a little later and doing the vendor thing when it opened. 

We woke up to gray overcast skies.  About 9:00 am snow flurries started.  We had flurries or drizzle all day and rain last night.  Two days earlier when we visited Santa Fe it was sunny and pleasant.  Santa Fe got three inches of snow yesterday.  All the trails and ladders that we went on in Bandelier would be closed for safety reasons.  We lucked out on our day. 

Everyone else had the same idea as we did.  The vendor area was a zoo.  It will be better as days go by.  We did meet some people that I had only known of online.  Met the guy I bought my modem from.  He gave me a shirt.  Cool.  Really didn’t see much of anything that interested us to buy.  We looked at some more RVs.  Not much to interest us even if we were interested.

We drove to the fairgrounds again.  Glad we did.  As we left the line of people waiting for busses was over 450 people long.  In mixed snow and sprinkle.  We will continue to drive.

The evening entertainment was Neil Sedaka.  He has been writing and singing songs for 57 years.  His show was a string of songs he has written.  Lots of songs one would recognize as sung by other big name singers but were actually written by him.  It was fun.
