Captain's Log--Stardate 060409

Day Three:

I am presently holed up in a coffeehouse in Gallup, New Mexico, enjoying live blues music. Someone is even playing some instrument that looks like a big stick with a string. And the banjo!

In other news: Tiffany and I managed to leave TEN MINUTES early for the Aztec Ruins today, whooo go us! Ten minutes early is like....an HOUR early in Laurie-time! Do not be mislead. The "Aztec Ruins" are not from Aztecs. That would be much further south. Nono, these are Plueblo Indians, stupid white people just thought they were Aztecs and the name stuck. Go figure. But! The ruins were super spiffy, Tiff has plenty of pictures to share on facebook.

In one day, Tiffany and I traversed almost the entirety of New Mexico, boy did THAT suck. We have discovered that New Mexicans cannot drive, and NM epically fails at posting signs. For ANYTHING. 'What road are we on? I have NO CLUE, there hasn't been a road sign for the past hour and a half....'. Yeah.

Also, there are almost NO coffeehouses with wi-fi. None! We found this one cause we prayed to Jesus AND found a lucky penny. Fo sho.

We stumbled across a random Insian festval next to the coffeehouse, so we got some pictures and video footage of Indian dancing/music. Epic win :)

Tomorrow is the GRAND CANYON!!!!! Whooooooo!!! I hope I don't drop the camera... ^^;

This is Laurie, signing out.

  1. You are not updating frequently enough! Just because we don't comment doesn't mean we aren't reading...!

    But I understand that you're busy and it's hard to find a signal. So I'll let you go with just a slap on the wrist. And since you're nowhere to be found, I can't even lightly slap your wrist.
