1/31

Yesterday we roamed around the Mesilla Plaza - a stop on the Butterfield Stage route, which was a predecessor to Pony Express. Had a nice lunch at Peppers on the plaza. J said her huevos rancheros were the best ever, and I had a chile relleno burger - something I had never even heard of much less eaten. Very good. J had a turquoise margarita, which had a small piece of turquoise in it which she kept as a reminder. After lunch, we headed north on 25, arriving in Albuquerque around 6:30. Had dinner at a Mexican restaurant, which was packed on a Sun night.

Neither of us slept well last night, so we got a late start. Had a nice lunch on Central aka Rte 66, near Old Town. Then we spent an hour or two walking around Old Town Plaza. Would have stayed longer, but no sun, very windy, and snow started to come down. Returned to the motel around 3;30, and the temp was 41. We seem to bring bad weather no matter where we go. But at least they are not predicting a foot of snow here!
