Almost There..

Greetings from some suburban sprawl section of Phoenix! I don't think my route quite makes it through downtown. Any guesses as to how I found a hotel tonight? Yup, Starbucks. There is one of everything on this side of town, so I stopped in and asked where the hotels are in town. It worked like a charm. You can always count on friendly ole baristas. They never let me down. (Yipee!)

I'm almost there! I have about 4-5 hours left to go tomorrow.

State traveled today: Texas, New Mexico, Arizona

NEW MEXICO

New Mexico is so beautiful, especially west of Albuquerque. The towns along the highway looked awful and I would never want to live there, but the scenery was great! At this point in my trip, I finally decided that I could actually stop the car to take pictures. I played it safe and only stopped at rest stops and real exits. I never pulled over on the side of the highway. I would have had way better pictures if I did.
