I'll Be Quirky

So we're back on the road again. They're not lying when they say everything is bigger in Texas. Near Houston we were literally the only car on the road, everyone drove either a pickup truck or an SUV. After spending the night in Round Rock, TX it was a 12 hour drive to Albuquerque. This was easily the longest and most boring part of the trip. Just open road and a dinky little town every once in a while.


I can't imagine what it must be like to grow up in one of these towns. There's only so long I can go without service and being bombarded by religious propaganda billboards. The only cool thing was seeing the cotton being harvested, so that gives you an idea about the ride.



We made it to Albuquerque in time to catch the second half of the Falcons versus Ravens game. We decided to go to Chili's to watch the game and Jon was able to hook it up and get a solid discount. Of course everything inside looked the same as back home and there was someone rocking an Eli Manning jersey, so it felt a little like home for a minute.
When we got to our motel it said that they had only reserved one bed for the two of us. After calling up Hotwire and being told that nothing could be done, the lady at the front desk had a change of heart and hooked us up with a double bed free of charge. It was our first night staying on our own. I loved staying with people so far but it was nice not feeling like I was stepping on people's toes.
It's about a 9 hour drive to Vegas tonight. I have to say that the bright lights of Vegas are gonna be a change of pace from the darkness of Texas and New Mexico. I'm excited for Vegas but I'll try to be on my best behavior, no promises though. If anyone can recommend a must see let me know. That's all for now, I got s feeling my next post will be a little more interesting.
