More Stories from the Road!
POSTED BY The Iveys ON 7/15/09
We are back at home after our tour, very safe and happy that things went so well!!
We also have some news about our Video "Back When It Was Our World" it will be shown on the Fuse On Demand channel! We hope you all will check it out and please demand our video!
The tour was so much fun! We had great shows in every town thanks to wonderful people. Now that we have some more time we can give you more info on the shows. In Santa Fe we had close friends from Colorado come to both of the shows we had there, we were so happy to see them! Our first show we played with a duet Jennings and Keller, they were amazing!! Their music is beautiful and we would definitely recommend that you listen to them.
The next day we got up and went in search of the Spiral Staircase Loretto, we plugged in the directions to the GPS and started down the road. Pretty soon the buildings thinned and we started seeing small farms as we climbed an uphill road. We all looked at each other as the paved road turned to dirt. This couldn't be the right way? We looked at the GPS and it said to keep going but the farther we went the less things we saw. "Um...isn't the Spiral Staircase located in downtown?" Jill asked. "Yeah," Jess replied "I don't think they would make people drive on a dirt road to see the Chapel."
So we all voted to turn around and apparently we had the wrong address typed in. We eventually found downtown Santa Fe, ha ha, there were streets instead of farms and paved roads instead of dirt ones, but hey the view was beautiful on that mountain!!
We finally got to see the beauty of the Staircase, and after that we spent the rest of the day in downtown looking at all the shops and other sites they have there.
We had a great show that night, we got to hear a musician by the name of John Courage who went on before us and we really enjoyed his performance!
The next day it was hard to say goodbye to our friends, we don't like goodbyes. We saw them to their car and then got in ours and headed to Lubbock!
