The last night at Dan's, Sam, Dan & I sat outside in rocking chairs until 3am just talking. It was a nice night and good conversation. Of course, we bickered a little, but that's what we always do. We also laughed a lot. I'm so glad we got to relax with him as long as we did. And I'm grateful to Tim, Liz & Vicki (Dan's dad, step-mom, and little sister) for letting us stay there...they're such nice people!
Today we woke up, packed, and hit the road to New Mexico. These are our accumulated thoughts we had while driving:
I hate the desert.
I hate hot weather.
I hate sweating.
Stupid New Mexico.
I can't wait to see things that grow GREEN again!!!
After a lot of the same, dry, hot, dead and sandy scenery we finally hit a town: Hatch, New Mexico. We made a left turn down a street to get to an Interstate and we passed Sparky's Burgers, Barbecue and Espresso. (http://sparkysburgers.com/) We did a U-turn and parked in the lot. The outside had big statues, including a Ronald McDonald and Colonel Sanders chillin' by the front door! They have "World Famous Green Chile Cheeseburger" (which Sam & I both ordered). They have a lot of menu items with green Chile...in fact Sam also got green Chile creamed sweet corn and I ordered pineapple slaw (yea, cole slaw with pineapple!). They were GREAT!! We bought a couple t-shirts before we left.
After that, it was more desert...and finally Albuquerque, NM!! And I will admit...Bugs Bunny sent us. ;)
OH!! And we're staying at Desert Sands Motel which was apparently one of the filming locations for No Country For Old Men!
Love always & Forever,
Stephanie
