Yes, you can still get a hearty breakfast for under $5. What it does to your heart is another matter. We usually start the day with a 2x2x2. No it’s not what you are thinking. It's two pancakes or French toast; 2 sausage links/patties or bacon strips and two eggs. Sometimes these come with a side of potatoes or we start with Oatmeal before that. The metabolism at this point is, quoting Jim, a “raging inferno” so it gets us through to lunch with some snacks in the middle.
Today we saw a lot of the old road that is well preserved for the most part from Grants to Albuquerque. It was another 80 mile day with good winds and lot more down than up so it made it possible for us to stop, check out the scenery, visit local churches and do some shopping even.
The food in New Mexico is special too. It is different than Mexican or Tex Mex…and even spicier. It has lots of fresh green or red chilies. We went for a taste of the local cuisine in the Old part of town – group dinner. Delicious! There is more to come since we have another 4 nights in New Mexico.
Last time in 2006 I sent post cards home, this time I am doing blogs, which I believe are also a bit outdated for today…it should really be twitter or iPhone updates to the internet directly. I had thought about it before I left the trip but not everyone I know is on these social networks and I wanted to keep the access to the content “Open”. And here is another idea of social networking…a card from a fellow ride Scott to his friend. This is for you Satellite Jack.
Tomorrow I will try another form of social networking; Jim Bradbury will be doing “guest blog” in my place so you will get another perspective of the trip. Either I am getting clever about how to put together blogs or just tired of doing them every night.
Ah.. do I remember the breakfasts!!
