Albuquerque

Took 54 until we hit the 40 and got on that to head west. It's less picturesque, the same fast food and truck stops along it's length. But it's faster and provides more bathroom stops so there is that. Got to Albuquerque early so we checked out the Old Town which is just a tourist trap (at least it seemed that way, we didn't stop) so we moved on to Nob Hill which is along what used to be Route 66. It was more fun and we got out to walk around and ate some pizza. They've done a great job restoring / repurposing the old structures and the strip has a lot going on. All kinds of galleries, cafes, restaurants and roughly 22 tattoo parlors. Make of that what you will. And the sunsets are really pretty as well.

My reaction to Route 40...


Roadside stop, nice sunset...


Sign along Central in Nob HIll. It's hard to tell sometimes if the signs are old or new to look old.


Tonights swank digs. Our room has a back door that opens to the pool. It's kind of funny but it's the Four Seasons compared to last night.


Tomorrow we're off to AZ and plan to land back in LA on Saturday.
