As planned, we woke early (everything is relative, let's just say we were making miles before noon...) We buzzed through the northern tip of Texas past a Cadillac Farm and the Largest Cross in the Northern Hemisphere without much interest. That all changed when we crossed the border into New Mexico, a very pretty state. Unfortunately by this point we'd built up a lot of momentum and zipped west, only stopping briefly in Albuquerque for dinner then heading north, in spite of everything looking interesting. I plan to return to this area when time permits to explore a little more thoroughly.

After a couple thousand of miles driving with too many unhappy animals, anything seems possible. Drive to Cuba? Why not. Actually, just a town in New Mexico, but we're headed up to the Aztec ruins tomorrow.
