Homewood Suites Albuquerque Jo

... I lost track of time playing around with photographs that before I knew it it was already 5:45. I hightailed it out of the hotel (which is practically right at the airport) and by the time the shuttle dropped me off it was 6:05. I checked in and was told by at least two of the agents that they were not promising that I would make the flight as I was "quite late" for the flight. No kidding! Luckily ...

... the phone! All within a day.
Well, I didn't waste much time. There were some lemons to squeeze! I made up with Tami, the test results were negative by Monday, I recovered and spent a ton of time, while waiting on the car, to practice piano, guitar, and paint. We even took a drive through the mountains and had dinner in Santa Fe. By Tuesday night my car was ready and I spent one last evening hanging and ...

... well. I had little issue settling right in at the hostel in Albuquerque once I got there. I met a Japanese fellow on his way to the Grand Canyon, and after we firmly established where the language barrier was we decided to get drunk. We had a grand ole time not really understanding what the other was saying, but toasting each time to the honesty of our lack of communicational skills. The next morning I had planned to go and see the petroglyphs ...

... Unfortunately we were 3 days too late. The majority of the birds, thousands, had already taken off. There were a few still there and the sunrise was beautiful.
We then drove southwest to Silver City for a few days of exploring.

... s a touching one about a grandma and a funny one about kids stuffing their family's belongings out a hole in the floor of the car that we particularly enjoyed. One note about yesterday. While driving in Oklahoma, we saw a roadside sign that stated: Hitchhikers may be escaping inmates. We thought that was hilarious. Maybe they should work on the security of ...

I was in Times square in NY taking photos about the crowd crossing the street then i went straight to the airport, get a flight to Albuquerque, there, i picked up a rental car and drove 8 hours to Monument Valley in Arizona, so, exactly 24 hours after time square i was standing in a desert, with for only company a lost dog...actually i appreciated the difference.

... Houston, Texas today because we need to make a quick stop at the Brazilian Consulate to obtain a visa to enter the country in the last leg of our journey. Neither of us have explored Houston, so that is where the adventure officially starts. PS. journaling is not my thing... so it is going to take some time and practice to make them interesting and a worth while read.

... year (early September), but we got lucky. The 10 000 foot Wolf Creek Pass was kind to us as the afternoon sun turned everything deep yellow and we descended back down to lower altitudes on the west side of the Rockies. The Rally was a little unorganized at first, but we eventually found a good spot to pinch our tents in the main camp area. It was quite a bit smaller than Sturgis, but I've heard around 40 000 bikes normally show up. The food was pretty good, everything from some ...

... that we had chosen the wrong one. The trail we had chosen led up the mountain, instead of skirting its base. Additionally, there didn’t seem to be anyone on this trail other than us. It didn’t seem logical that a short trail like this one wouldn’t have anyone on it. Still, we kept climbing in the hopes that the trail would turn and descend. Our hopes were dashed when a ranger came around a corner. He exclaimed that he didn’t expect to ...
