  • Santa Fe with Cara & Niamh
    19 March 2022

    Kelly is away in Ireland at a family wedding and I was determined to get a short St. Patrick’s Day flight logged; unfortunately we had snow and rain for most of the day so that wasn’t possible. However, Friday’s (18 March) weather was perfect and I decided to clock off work a little early and head for Santa Fe, NM.

    14 March 2022
