Amarillo & Albuquerque - 9-29-19

Sunday September 29, 2019

Amarillo, Texas, weird dinosaur cowboy sculpture, it was emailed to Bret to help celebrate his special day.  We continued our westward drive through Texas and entered New Mexico, which has quite a friendly welcoming sign. They also seem to have a lot more rest areas than the other states we've been through lately.

Welcome to New Mexico, I-40






Next stop, Old Town Albuquerque and the Back Street Grill, where we met Maureen, Kimberly & family, and Catherine for a great New Mexican-style lunch.

 Afterwards, Randy went to check into the hotel. Meanwhile, Bryn, Catherine and Maureen walked around Old Town, did a little shopping, visited the church of San Felipe de Neri, founded in 1706 (rebuilt in 1793), and relaxed with lattes for M&C and a prickly pear sparkling soda for Bryn.


Randy joined us for dinner for more New Mexican specialties, with sopapillas for dessert.  Then he went back to the hotel and Bryn went to Catherine's to talk more while Catherine was busy making scones and finger sandwiches for a tea party. It got too late so Bryn had a sleepover.
