Amazing to see the queues at the airport donut and BBBQ shops before 7 am in the morning…starting the day off well before they hit the coral carrel buffet for lunch and BBQ smokehouse for dinner. Sure im a few kg over my playing weight but to see these people waddling like fat ducks down the concourse gobbling donuts or breakfast brisket rolls is a sight. Many with a pumpkin latte or diet coke… its not going to help.
We flew into Alburquque and arrived about 10 and picked up the car for the drive to LA. As per usual the Hertz guy did the up-sell but when he checked the rate for a Ford discount Focus and Mustang there was bugger all difference. so we got a convertible strong for our Route 66 trip. how cool.
We take the back road to Santa Fe so we could stop off at the Mine Shaft Tavern in Madrid. What a weird little hippy village with a few arty farty shops selling wind chime and other crap. Food and beer pretty were good at the tavern… “but hang on a minute there is something something odd about this place….this bar has no fire exits… enjoy your death trap ladies… ” Homer J Simpson”
