Albuquerque, NM

Elyse and I had entirely too much fun doing absolutely nothing today. Which is partially the reason why I've decided to stay in Albuquerque for one more day. Not to mention, she has internet and lives in a nice house with an even nicer spare bedroom :) :)

We went on a mini hike and I got attacked by this cactus. Which startled me and caused me to get attacked by a second cactus. I spent the rest of the day picking cactus needles out of my shirt


trying to break into the Air Force base. I'm sure Elyse is tired of my shenanigans, especially since she works for the government :P



Golden Pride is an ABQ staple. They're known for their "New Mexico" breakfast burritos and sweet rolls, which are apparently just cinnamon rolls bathing in butter.


Four paper towels later, we finally blotted off enough butter to make this thing edible

I met the world's most perfect couple, Stefani & Nathan, who own two Wii's and two giant 60 inch plasma TVs. If they have a spare bedroom, I may never make it to Texas...
