Not a lot to report today. Being now in the mountain time zone, we have gained another hour making us 7 hours behind. We were a little disappointed with Santa Rosa and wished we could have just driven the additional few miles to here last night so we could have 2 nights in the Grand Canyon. We were planning on doing the Breaking Bad tour in Albuquerque which involves being taken round all the locations in the show in a big RV! However we sat down last night and realised we could just google the locations and visit them ourselves and save some bucks. So we hauled ass the 120ish miles from Santa Rosa and got some good pictures of Walt and Jessie's house, Jane and Jessie's apartments, Saul's office and the car wash. If you ... read more

I moved to Albuquerque New Mexico with my family in the Summer of 2015. That was only four months ago but I have discovered so much of what the city has to offer in terms of its landscape, it’s architecture, and for my children, it’s wildlife. I have also serendipitously stumbled upon some wonderful native New Mexicans, whom i will remember forever. First, the facts. Albuquerque is relatively small in population which gives it a homely feel. There is not much traffic, although the locals don’t agree with me, but when you moved here from New York City like I did, the city has a very sluggish feel and you can always drive from one part of the city to the other in less than 30 minutes regardless of where you are and regardless of the ... read more

Just about over this 66 thing, but it goes on & on & on.... Some pretty cool stuff along the New Mexico stretch. Ghost towns are abundant, offering sad memories of the prosperous towns they once were & so much history of this highway! The promise of prosperity & excitement that the west must have enticed in people from the east....to travel all this way in search of riches & a new life. This is where we will depart the East-West road & head North into Indian Territory. Big influence from the Spanish along the 84 heading north. They settled here in the 1600's & a lot of the buildings, architecture reflect their presence. Sante Fe, the capital, the oldest capital city in the US. Staying in a tiny place called Las Vegas, New Mexico! in ... read more

New Mexico Nun bin ich am östlichsten Punkt dieses Roadtrips angelangt: in Albuquerque, NM. Danach gehts wieder zurück in den Westen. Die Bilder in diesem Blog-Entry stammen aus: Albuquerque - dort hab ich nach den Spuren von Walter White gesucht :-D Petroglyph National Monument - diese Spuren haben wohl Ausserirdische hinterlassen NRAO-VLA (National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array) das große Radio Teleskop mit dem die Amerikaner mit den Aliens kommunizieren und von der Road-Site, von den Überresten der Route 66 und der Route 60. ... read more

Geo: 35.0841, -106.649The day started at 2:38 a.m. for me. That was when I heard Philip get up, and I looked at the clock. The alarm was set to go off at 2:45. I don't know how his internal alarm works, but he never needs a wake-up call. We had to be in the hotel lobby by 3:15 a.m. for the bus ride back to the airport in Naples. Our first flight was at 6:15 a.m. We flew from Naples to Munich, and now we are on the way to Houston as I write. After a three-hour layover in Houston, we should be back in Albuquerque by 7:30 or so local time. At the beginning of this flight, the captain said that it would be eleven hours and twenty-five minutes in the air. The plane is ... read more

Geo: 35.0841, -106.649The flight from Albuquerque to Chicago was fine and on time which was just perfect since we only had one and a half hours as a layover in Chicago. By the time we changed from the arrival gate to the departure gate, there was only thirty minutes or so to wait for boarding which we did in the nearby President's lounge. ... read more
