We weren’t able to leave our room last night, the snow just wouldn’t let up. So, we dug into our traveling goodies and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. For our first course, we had a bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos. This tasty morsel goes very good with either Beer or wine. I enjoyed my Doritos with a very delicate Pinot Grigio, 2005 meridian. For our second course, we dined on salami, chedder cheese and crackers we purchased at Costco.
Last night, we had a very scary experience. I was sleeping, and for some reason, I woke up. I looked around the room, wondering what time it was, when saw a line of light. I woke all the way up, and realized what I was seeing. Our room door was open. I woke up John and told him, and he got up and closed the door again. But here is the thing, I remember last night as John was closing up, he put the extra bar across the door, so it couldn’t be opened all the way. I told him, its closed John, and he came back to bed. The door was only open a small space, as far as the extra lock would allow, but I know it was closed all the way before we went to bed. I had nightmares all night after that.
Last night, the roads were closed from Albuquerque to Texas on I 40. This morning we saw on TV that the road was reopened, so John is packing the car back up and we are going to try to move on. Our car is covered in snow, we look like a local. Driving is going to be a little scary till we hit dry ground. We are leaving cautiously, going slow, looking for a gas station, and heading back out to I 40. This is really creepy, but we are being very careful. I will be happy when we get ahead of this storm.
Alex called this morning and told us it had been raining since yesterday. Yippee! Better weather. I just hope 40 East stays open till we get to Texas. We are on the road, and it is slow and go. The snow goes away, and comes back. Right now, it is blowing and snowing big huge flakes. The road is sanded with the red gravel that is all around New Mexico. The roads are the color of the red rocks. The police are escorting the cars in both directions, but at least we are moving.
Ok, it’s a few hours later now. That was quick , huh? We are almost to Texas, only one more hour, and we will be in Amarillo. There is a steak place there John wants to go to. It is the one if you eat the whole 72 0z. Steak and all the trimmings, you get it free. I will have a reasonable sized meal, thank you very much. We have driven in and out of snow storms all the way here, nothing like what we left behind. We just want to get to Amarillo, have dinner and relax. Ok, This is it for now. Along post today. Rest your eyes now. See ya all tomorrow, I will let you know how dinner was.
