Day 5

---

Oklahoma City --> Albuquerque, New Mexico

So the motel breakfast was crap and we decided to buy breakfast somewhere. So Denny's was right around the corner and it was the first time I ever ate there. The food's alright, the Grand Slam idea is good, service is quick. That's my mini review.

Then we hit the road and headed towards Amarillo, Texas, 4 and a half hours away. We saw some stuff worth mentioning on the way - the first oil drill so far, and a truck pulling a trailer full of v8 racing mowers - haaaahahhaha! We also passed this huuuuge wind farm that stretched for miles on both sides of the road, very cool. We made it there no problem and I had just gotten into the city and my GPS starts telling me to make a left somewhere... so I'm driving along, driving along, and then my dad says "Left" so I spun the wheel around to make a real quick left andddd someone was apparently in another lane that I wasn't even sure existed and they hit me. The dude hit the part right behind my drivers side back tire. My bike went flying - it was kinda funny cause me and my dad were more concerned about my bike than my car lol. It's fine though, you can breathe out now. My car is a little f'ed though. Gonna need some work when we get to the final destination. For now, its nothing duct tape can't fix (hahaha.. ohhh we fit in so well here in the southwest). And luckily, the dude didn't want to call the cops cause his car was kinda fine.. so, sweeeeet, cause it was totally my fault. Not a bad first car accident, all in all.

So by the end of all this we're both starving and I'm like in shock still I needed to just sit down somewhere and chill the f out. Couldn't find anything though so we peaced outa the city, but luckily found an Applebees on the way out. Mudslides cured us and we were once again on our way.

Next stop, Albuquerque. On the way there was this area where before this one exit there were miles and miles of billboards on each side of the road, and out of the corner of my eye I caught this one:

Eat Here! Get Gas!

LOL!!! and so that'll be the quote of the day. Clearly.

We stopped at the visitors center and got some little booklets on stuff to do cause I think we're gonna stay here for a day. I wanna go hiking and get some turquise 😊 . I'll let ya know what we end up doing tomorrow. For now it's breakfast for dinner at the little diner down the road.

Miss you all so bad. Love you.
KeepitReal~
