Day Twelve

When Tony opened the door this morning he sounded surprised as he practically bumped into a Mexican man at our door trying to sell silver jewellery in little plastic bags. I didn't see it but Tony thought it was very poor quality.

Today was a driving day. We left Gallup and went through Albuquerque and on to Amarillo where we turned south toward Dallas. We saw the wonderful red sandstone cliffs, buttes and the high staked plains along with deep gulches and pretty dry country. There was a noticeable difference in the scenery and the prosperity between New Mexico and the panhandle of Texas.

It was a bit disconcerting to read the signs at the rest stop in northern Texas! Tonight we are at a motel in Childress. We just came back from a wonderful buffet at a nearby restaurant where Tony discovered how delicious catfish can be. Tomorrow we are hoping to briefly explore Dallas. We are having a great time but do miss our grandchildren and their parents. We will catch up with the CT ones on the way home.
