We planned Thursday as a mostly driving day and motored from Amarillo to Albuquerque enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way as well as the recent stimulus $$ induced road improvements. The interstate system has beautiful wrought iron and state-themed decor which I was so mesmerized by that I didn't take any pictures. Using the Google local feature on my iPhone Virginia managed to get us off the highway to a local restaurant for lunch. We learned about
Sadie's Mexican Restaurant from a fellow Crone in the restroom at a McDonald's where we stopped to pee (Crone Tips for Road Trips is being prepared for publication soon). Upon hearing that we were planning to go to Gallup she warned us that there was no good food to be had there. She concurred with our plan to feature lunch as our main meal and steered us right. At Sadie's, Virginia practiced Crone magic on a waitress who we overheard having a row with a fellow server. As she swooped by our table, Virginia remarked "You have a beautiful smile." She did and it was awesome to see her energy transform as she smiled widely and said "Thank you, you made my day." We continued to practice energy medicine throughout the day and had delightful encounters with random people that made
our day. We stopped at various places including an Arizona official welcome center where two lovely women in charge counselled us to back track a few miles to Gallup for lodging. In my zest to get close to the Petrified Forest for our next day's trip, I assumed there would be motels nearer the park, but alas, no! We bedded down in an
Econolodge, checked in with family and friends and conked out for the night. Next: Petrified Forest State Park!
