Wednesday November 6th…Albuquerque

Not a lot to report from today, and in fact haven’t even taken a photo!!! We visited a possible storage location nearby for Ruakiwi if she hasn’t sold by the time we leave in December, and it looked really good. Then onto one of the local shopping areas to get supplies and have a mooch around. Have really noticed the huge Mexican influence with signs in the supermarkets in both English and Spanish, feel like we are really in a different country. And boy do we like their food, although perhaps not as much chile as they like! Lunched today in a great little neighbourhood burrito café. (Sorry Lynn, didn’t have my camera!)

Interesting though as we drove back into camp saw the sign saying that the road we are staying on is the original Route 66, and read that there are large parts of it through New Mexico.

Afternoon disappeared with laundry and getting packed for our trip to Atlanta tomorrow, so looking forward to seeing my brother and family and celebrating Nicole and Shaun’s wedding.

Not planning on doing much with the blog during this time, but will try and post a few pictures from the wedding. Will be back in Albuquerque next Tuesday afternoon, ready to spend the last few weeks having a good look around New Mexico and some of Texas.

Couldn’t load the blog without a photo…have included a favourite from Zion National Park, in black and white.
