Fear of the Known: Reintegration Shock
I can tell I'm home immediately by the way the airline workers snap out orders. Politeness is for pussies, this is America! The clothes are a bit more casual, the buildings trashier, the people more openly irritable (my first thought is "Wow, never ...
I'm Home
We made it back home. I really enjoyed the visit with my new niece and getting to see my Brother and Sister-In-Law but very glad to be home. Kaitlyn now says "Baby" very well thanks to her new cousin. I miss my family in Missouri. I hope that Hannah ...
New Mexico
I'm packed up and on my way early this morning but eat up a lot of time getting off the freeway to take the business loop through small Oklahoma towns hoping for one of the small cafes I prefer for breakfast. Either their cafes aren't on the main ...
A visit to New Mexico.
With time to spare and heal, I went to visit my good dear friends and godchildren in New Mexico. It was Maja's birthday. She just turned 13 and a celebration was had by ...
The Authentic "Real" Albuquerque
... the rest of the day driving first through pretty flat scenery and, later, through the rolling hills of northern central New Mexico around Albuquerque. Along the way we made a brief side trip to Billy the Kid's (Henry McCarty or William H. Bonney's) ...
Day 15
... and take the podium, as you can see in the pictures. We had lots of good debate about it on the 3 hour ride into Albuquerque afterwards. Oh, and we discovered we had a hitchhiker (a little green one- see the picture) I don't think he's an escaping inmate ...
Albuquerque Here We Come!
... in the streets. We stopped and ate at the "La Hacienda" for lunch. After lunch we headed off to brave the Rattlesnake Museum. This a nice way to end our journey through Albuquerque. It won't be long till Sante Fe! Chris and ...
Post day 2, April 25, Southwest Chief, Albuquerque
... mesa off in the distance. While flat, it is quite high and we cross the continental divide between Gallup and Albuquerque at about 7000 feet. Breakfast choices were omelet of the day, french toast, traditional eggs, continental, and daily special (egg ...

... through the river! The Narrows is referred to as the Grandfather of all slot canyons. The brochure states that, "The Narrows are where the parallel walls squeeze down to their most slender dimension, evoking dramatic light, serpentine ...
Albuquerque
... mountains which made the jeep heaps of fun. We then stopped at an even smaller town - Cuba in New Mexico before getting to Albuquerque for dinner. After tea we went to a local pub named Neds where we met some lesbians who thought we were in a ...
Natural History Museum
... Florida a couple of days longer. After I got my haircut(on barter) I picked Kelly and the boys up. There were 2 restaurants in Albuquerque on barter. The first one we went to didn't look very promising. We decided to go to the other one and we wished ...
Suspended over jagged peaks
... the world at 2.7 miles, taking one up about 4000 feet. I am not one for touristy destinations but the view of Albuquerque was worth the price of looking like a camera-touting tourist. A simple yet delicious meal at the highly regarded Artichoke ...
Ghosts for breakfast
I woke up to the sound of rattling in the kitchen through the thin walls at 6 a.m. The resident Mississippian decided to make beignets for everyone. Never having tasted the real thing, I was happy to oblige as the first taster. I quickly finished off ...
Buena Vista
Saw the famous Cadillac Ranch on the outskirts of Amarillo – 10 graffitied cars stood on end in the ground at the same angle. Pretty cool sight, made even more so by the bright blue sky and dusty/sandy land. Stopped at the midpoint between ...
Highlights of the Best of the West Tour, Days 1-9
... about the Yosemite area and of conservation and environmental issues in general and is a very important figure in the history of the United States. The John Muir Trail was steep in parts but not too strenuous over all. It is very picturesque but ...
Adventure in Albuquerque
... years and it changed a bit. The bridge was really cool but not worth $23. After that we just made our way toward Albuquerque complaining about the Royal Rip-off. Once we got into New Mexico, we hardly had any service and there were deer crossing signs ...
Spoilt Rotten!
... . It is also very similar to Sante Fe with many lovely little shops, cafe's and restaurants. I had a fantastic time in Albuquerque, topped off by getting a lift to the airport in a Lotus. It is not the family car but was on loan for a ...
Easter among Ancient Etchings!
It was a beautiful day to wander and climb on the short trails of Boca Negra Canyon, part of Petroglyph National Monument, and to feel the thrill of seeing etchings in rocks that are between 700 and 3,000 years old! The rock is part ...
Rock, Soul, Poverty and Religion - That's Memphis
... , a 24-hour journey awaited me. It would be a tune that would no doubt be repeated when I travelled to Nashville and Albuquerque. Travelling may broaden your mind but on a bumpy road it can sure be uncomfortable, especially as you sit in a ...
The Journey Begins
... was the "good" nervous. It wasn't so bad saying bye to my mom and the life I lived in the 505. The flight from Albuquerque to Dallas went quite well; I sat next to a powerful business woman who could have ruled the world with her blackberry. She ended ...
Staying longer in Albuquerque!
Friends make all the difference! When we first arrived in Albuquerque, we thought it seemed just like a big city. We soon learned there was a lot of neat things to do, especially in the Old Town area where all the museums are located. The best of the ...
Albuqurque
After rolling through some of the beautiful expanses of nothing I've ever seen, we've hit Albuquerque. We were told by a regular to the station that there was a place that offered great burritos. Since that was at 11am, we figured we would wait on lunch ...
On our way to Vegas!!
... an Indian settlement - now a national park. Walked around the park for an hour, was a pretty place Then we headed off to Albuquerque where we had a look around the city, realised there wasn't much there so played some pool and had a few beers before ...
Taking stock...one year on
You may wonder what happens in between blogs; since the last one- 15th November, no we weren't abducted by aliens, we've just been pottering really. Living on the road as we are, there are still what we call 'housekeeping' chores to do; not to ...
4 that want to own me, 2 that want to stone me
Well, another full day! If you have not figured out the name of today's episode, you are not an Eagles fan. (more on this later) We left an hour late because the person before us in our room set the clock to Central time and we ...
Day 12: Bandelier, Santa Fe, and BBQ
... upscale as Santa Fe is, we found it a little too yuppie (especially for Julia's student budget). We cruised back down into Albuquerque to meet Loretta for dinner, and had some delicious barbecue at Rudy's, famous in town for its good food and laid ...
