Day 20 6/25/10 Amarillo - Alburquerque, NM
Left Lincoln Arkansas around 9:00 and went to Amarillo, it only took 2.5 hours. Since Jeff used to live here we were familiar with the area. Jonny especially likes "Jorges" and the fried avacodo's. We took our time in Amarillo doing some shopping and looking for some boots for Jonny, (no luck). Then got back on the road and travelled for 5 hours to Alburquerque NM. While going thru Texas it was so boring and flat, I decided to doze off. When I woke up and saw hills, I knew we were not in Texas any longer. Went to the Alburquerque temple at 6:00. This is the first temple we had no trouble finding, and it was right on a main road not in a sub division. It is a larger temple and nice area. When we came out it was dark and we could see by the lights that Alburquerque is very large. Had trouble finding a hotel but I hope tomorrow we will be able to see this area and not just get up and drive thru. I know Jonny wants to get home, but I am still not ready yet, Was so sorry to hear my good friend George Strayer died today. I will miss him.

You've been moving pretty quickly across the country. I hope you can go to "Old Town" in Albuquerque. It's a unique area.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about George Strayer. I know Gary will be sad, too. He was the home teacher for quite a long time. Please give our best to the family.
Enjoy the remaining time on your trip - tell Jonny not to be like a "barn sour" horse!
