I guess I had to stay in this town so that I finally master how to spell it. Now I have to write it a 100 times and I should never forget it. I can spell Mississippi in my sleep. Ha Ha Ha.
I don’t know how I managed that, but I picked a hotel which is within walking distance of all kinds of shops and restaurants. So it was really easy to find a place to have a quick dinner. Don’t really want to search for a place to eat after a long drive. Went to Bravo! Cucina Italiana. Never heard of it before, but the woman at the New Mexico Welcome Center recommended it and so why not. I wasn’t really hungry and I knew I’d be a disappointed if I got a pizza. Therefore I decided on Spaghetti Bolognese. It was quite tasty. Spumoni for dessert. I forgot it was Friday night so naturally there was a wait.
Did you know that they have a huge annual Albuquerque Hot-Air Balloon Festival in the fall? Never been in a hot-air balloon. I think it’s romantic. Up in the air, bottle of Champagne, watching the sunset. Oh wait… I’m forgetting something. You need a second person to make the package complete. :-)
It’s still Friday here so tomorrow’s destination will be Flagstaff, AZ. I’m hoping that I will have time to visit the Meteor Crater. Didn’t have time last year. The drive should be only 5 hours, and I will get an hour back going into Arizona. Not too happy with this state right now. Therefore I will simply enjoy the beauty of the land.
Here we go, the pictures from today:
