swimming outside

In Santa Fe, our hotel had an outdoor pool.  We were so geared up for warm that we attempted a swim outside in 28 degrees F!  Brrrr.... Las Cruces was hot, dry and 80 degrees F.  Our hotel had a fantastic outdoor pool.  None of us wanted to leave the pool but we had a backpacking adventure to conquer next.

We stopped for a quick lunch and headed off to camp in the White Sands.
