Good news/Bad news from the land of enchantment

Well, we made it to Albuquerque but Larry is not any better. I thought he was getting better but yesterday afternoon (Father's Day) he started getting sick again and last night he woke up with chills and fever. We got our doctor to send him another round of antibiotics so hopefully within 24 hours he will rebound.
The good news is we can certainly understand why New Mexico is called the Land of Opportunity. The vistas here are breathtaking. We were at the foot of the Sandia Mountains yesterday and we were listening to a Praise station on the radio and they were singing, My God,He can move the mountains, My God is mighty to save, He is mighty to save... Pretty cool, huh? We have met the nicest people on this trip. Yesterday at my book signing we talked with Alphonso and his two adult children, a gentleman named Jan and a very spiritual woman named Donna. We had a great time talking with them and I hope we'll hear feom each of them again.
We toured the Indian Cultural Center yesterday, and it was interesting to me to see the Creation or Emergence tales of the different tribes. I took a class in Native American culture in college and it brought back good memories as I went through the Museum (yes you heard me right--I got to go to a museum--yeah)
Last night after resting we drove to the Old Town and also drove down Route 66. Old Town was centered around a town square with a pretty gazebo and lots of trees The structures surrounding the square were adobe style and mainly consisted of specialty shops and restaurants
We are driving down I-40 west and for a short time paralleled Route 66 until it dead ended.
The Albuquerque KOA had some nice features (volley ball court, horseshoes court, playground and pet run along with a swimming pool and hot tub. I don't know if it is just me, but it seems each KOA we have visited seems more crowded than the last. We'll be staying at the last KOA in Williams and it is supposed to be very nice From that point on we'll stay at private park
Till next time, Happy Trails
