Madrid and the Turquoise Trail have been added to the map, but may wait until I’m back around next year. I wasn’t planning on going any further north into higher elevations. I’ll see what the weather is like when I leave town.

Garcia’s Kitchen looks like it could be the place I find someone for Good Food to interview about New Mexican cuisine, thanks! And I think I’ll plan to have an early breakfast in Frontier when I wake up super early tomorrow because of the cold.

Berta – Your own fault for not planning earlier. :) But it’s two bad you’re not coming out here, there’s a number of places (Roswell) that I think would be more fun to visit with someone. I’ll save them for when you get around deciding to quit this whole graduate school idea and do some proper traveling.

It would be really helpful if you could add a section on the side (right or left) with links to the beginning of the last couple (3? 5?) entries. Today when I checked there were two new entries, but I wanted to read them in chronological order and they’re long, so I had to scroll down a lot to get to the beginning of the first one.

Ah, and in livejournal you asked for suggestions in Albequerqyeue. The Rattlesnake Museum. Garcia’s Kitchen (“stamping out gringo food”). The Turquoise Trail, including Tinkertown (it epitomizes what is beautiful about living in America – a guy can accumulate a big pile of stuff and make a living showing it to people), Madrid (pronounced Mah-drid, not like the city in Spain, used to be a mining town but now is a little art haven and has a neat old train/crap museum), and generally the trail is pretty. Oh, and the Frontier up near the University – open 24 hours (I think they have wireless) and has amazing sticky buns – so good that I had my mom bring my a frozen 1/2-dozen when she was out there and I wasn’t. Hmmm… If I think of other things I’ll post later or email you.

I’m loving reading about your trip!
