This day got a bit of a riding reprieve, care of the NM highway dept. There was construction on Rt 40 that made impassible for us, and CrossRoads took us off the road at one place, carried us and bikes up the road some 16 miles. and turn us loose back to the travails of the highway. A most prudent and safe decision by Tracey of CrossRoads.

As we came into Alburquerque a bit early, so Bob convinced me to stop in Old Town of Alburquerque for another breakfast of Huevos Rancheros. While the food was good going down, it was a little outside my gastro comfort range, and Tums were in my future that day, but it was a great little spot, friendly people, and a nice break in the day. That evening, Bob invited me to join him for a visit with his daughter, Beth and her family. We got a home cooked meal ( and got our laundry done with no waiting...and extra treat). I only ate 4 meals today if you consider the cheeseburger at the Dairy Queen during the day.

More fun tomorrow (I know becausse this is being posted 2 days in arears). See ya.................
