New Mexico and Texas

New Mexico is beautiful. Got a chance to go and take pictures of some of the pueblos, which I was hoping I would be able to do. I was also surprised by the amount of snow in Grant. Snow and ice were layered on the road, and it was a white-knuckled drive for about an hour. Growing up in California, I am used to always seeing mountains. Texas is the first place I have been to where you can look all around you and see nothing but fields in any direction. I was so distracted that I took a wrong turn off the freeway, and had to drive through a grassy ditch just to get back on again (long story). Ended up here in Amarillo, and had an awesome dinner at Famous Dave's BBQ. I had ribs and a Shiner Boch. I love IPAs, but i think the Boch might make me a convert. I had to stop typing this half way through to clean BBQ sauce off my phone, so that should be a testament to the ribs. While I miss my friends and family, today proved to be a wonderful experience!

    The nothingness in the planes was so distracting that you had to go off-road, awesome. Now I guess we know why they put a city in the middle of the desert (Vegas), it was to prevent people driving into ditches. That dinner looks like I could reach into the screen and eat it.

    Is the Famous Dave's in Amarillo better than the one in San Jose?

    @Rachel.....he might use less Gasoline that way too since he will have a boost.
    @Katy .... yep, we can all use a little nothingness once and a while.

    Beans helped! They propelled my quickly to rest stops and gas stations on the way there ha ha ha. Yeah, and Jared, the nothingness is awesome. Also, I haven't been to the SJ one, but I can say that Henry's is still better!
