Day 4: Thursday, September 7, 2006
1150
We are on I-40 just outside of Albuquerque and in awe of the scenery. It is absolutely beautiful out here. We stopped for petrol (gas) and were in awe of the price too ;-) $2.99 a gallon, and we were able to take pics of the old Route 66 Bridge outside of Albuquerque in a small town called Rio Puerco. They had a nice store there and Lana was able to pick up some great Christmas presents. ;-)
We have been listening to Dr. Berg’s newest set “Quieting a noisy Soul” and it is VERY good, I personally know that when we get back I am going to have to get one to take back to Aust.
We just pulled up at Grants NM, for Lana to get something to eat and found out that the McDonalds is 3 miles form the exit.. mmm well they didn’t tell us that before we got off the interstate. ;-) anyway I decided to take a picture of the Wal-Mart as it is probably the only Wal-Mart that we have seen that we haven’t stopped at. ;-) and we are now on Historic Route 66,. We are still driving and still havent’ found McDonalds! But we found a post office so we are stopping so that we can get some stamps to mail post cards and such to family and friends.. Ohhh we just found the McDonalds, it seems that we got off the interstate one exit too soon. Ah well, at least we got to travel on the Historic Route 66. If you don’t get one of the postcards from us it isn’t because you aren’t important to us it is just that we probably never got around to mailing them. ;-)
We are seeing an incredible rainstorm in the mountains from the interstate. It is just like a line of rain moving across the mountains.
At 1306 we crossed the continental divide, and Lana informed me that the rain on this side (western side) of the divide goes to the Pacific Ocean and the rain on the eastern side of the divide goes to the Atlantic Ocean.

Let me know if you need my address to send me a postcard.
I am so jealous of you guys I would love to go on a road trip like that! All of my road trips have been all about the destination. Do you have a tentative itinerary?
Be safe. I'll pray for you.
Hey, Sounds like you gals are having a great time. I'm jealous :-)
