OLD TOWN, ALBUQUERQUE

Old Town is a wonderful part of ALB (it's way too long to type out every time) and I was ready for the day as I had looked on line to check out the stores. I got there and parked and walked into the area and YUP - OVERPRICED AGAIN. When will I learn? I didn't buy stuff but really enjoyed the area. They have a lottery for the street vendors (very similar to Santa Fe). I did meet a guy who was born in Sask and moved to New West and then on to New Mexico - go figure.

MADRID, NEW MEXICO

This is a cute town where they filmed Wild Hogs. Okay, that's about all there is to say about Madrid other than every store sells the same overpriced jewelry and arts and crap. I have even seen some of the stuff being sold on the beaches in Mexico. It is amazing how much artists think their works are worth. If no one is buying then they are not worth the inflated pricing but they are artists!!

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

It is October 10th and I leave Vancouver tomorrow to fly back to Phoenix, get the truck and head back to New Mexico. I have had a wonderful 19 days back home visiting with family and friends, doing some work and just hanging out. I will spend a couple of weeks in new Mexico and then head east on US 80 which is also known as the "Dixie Overland Highway". The most eastern point is Savannah, Georgia. But this is only Plan A. It may all change once I am back in the trailer.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING - I have so much to be thankful for and I remember this every day.

I LEARNED....

that I am not quite as smart as I think. Click once on the picture and then click again. This will expand the picture to the full screen. My new camera is worth every penny.

I LEARNED.....

If you double click on a picture on the blog it will zoom out and the details are clearer. It is nice to know that I still have the ability to learn.
