alaska trip thursday 5/21/15 ABQ

THURSDAY MAY 21 ABQ
It is SO cold in ABQ — I just looked up that the temp here is 51 —and it is 80 degrees in Seattle right now!!  Tomorrow we head north — will head for Green River, just past Moab UT.  This is a pretty boring journal for today— we got up and went out for breakfast at Wecks— our favorite breakfast restaurant in ABQ (see the only photos I took— the sun was actually shining in Larry’s face— that’s the only time we saw the sun today.)  We had delicious omelets with sausage and green chile sauce — wish we had a Wecks in Alamogordo.  We read in the ABQ journal recently that they opened one in Farmington.  


Our next “exciting” activity was to go to Big 5 and do some shoe shopping.  I felt like I needed a 2nd pair of hiking shoes, preferable waterproof — so we both ended up buying a bunch of shoes that were on sale.  We met up at Relish (a sandwich shop) with Brian, Leslie, and Josh — just had salad.  We ran over to REI with them— Brian was getting stuff he needed for the Iron Horse bike race that he will be doing Saturday from Durango to Silverton CO — he may end up snow biking!  We just hung out with them all afternoon — I “got” to play Chutes and Ladders, Triominos, Hiss, and Yahtzee with Josh.  After dinner we headed back to the RV — the wind is still blowing, it has been raining, and we are running both the heat and our space heater!   Tomorrow, we will try for an early start — it is 424 miles to Green River, so it will be a pretty long driving day.
