Hot. Dry. Dusty. And hot. We have places to go and things to see, but in order to get there, we must drive...long distances. And so we drove, or rather, Blake drove and I napped (only a little) while Zach kept Blake company up front. Zach was so excited to finally reach 'the desert!' Not a lot of excitement other than the discovery that we lost the trim (side panel) to the camper door. We expected to lose a hubcap, but an actual piece of trim? And so it goes on the open road...
When we finally made it to Albuquerque, we stopped at the first 'non-chain' restaurant we saw and pulled into The Owl Cafe. As is often the case, it didn't look like much, but man, did they have GOOD food. We're talking really good food, folks. It wasn't until after leaving the restaurant did I learn that they are known for their green chile burgers and were once featured on the Food Network. Blake and I both ordered burritos, however, his with green chile and mine with red. We agreed. Best burritos ever. The menu even had a disclaimer about their chile sauce being "muy caliente"! Even so, they were absolutely delicious. And since it was Mother's Day, we ordered homemade desserts to boot. So today was about the food. Let's face it. On road trips, you'll have good food and you'll have bad food. And if you're lucky, you'll have really, really good food. Today, we were lucky.
