Well, Don got the heater to work –
thank heavens, we needed it! We were up early this morning to start on the
final long leg of our trip. We want to spend a couple days recuperating in
Laughlin NV, so that is where we are heading. However, Don did not want to stay
in Flagstaff – too cold, so we picked somewhere in between, namely Winslow AZ.
We got here pretty much straight
through on I-40. We started out heading for Albuquerque NM. We decided to drive
through town on Central Avenue which, low and behold, went by a Waffle House.
Guess where we had breakfast?
As we drove along I was studying the
map and the tour book desperately looking for something interesting to do
besides driving straight through this beautiful desert country. As I read I
remembered former trips through these very same towns, as far back as 1989.
Every time I spotted a National Park on the map, Don reminded me when we were
there in the past, and I confirmed it by looking at my trip journals. Oh, well,
no new passport stamps on this leg of the trip. We did stop in Gallup NM where
I had shopped in the past and found lovely jewelry, handmade by the local
Indians, mainly the Navajo. I bought a couple pieces again before we got back
on the road.
Winslow is a small town on former
Route 66 (isn’t every town along here?). We drove through the main street
looking for a restaurant for dinner and saw several Mexican restaurants that
seemed popular. We chose one and had a nice dinner. We also realized that we
had gained another hour, and we are now on California time.
We’re tired so it is early to bed
tonight.
