Day 12: Albuquerque, New Mexico

Miles Traveled: Zero

Spent an extra day in Albuquerque so Grace and Jo could catch up on things, do a little shopping for Indian jewelry and tour the area. Brian and Tom talked cars, life and took their own tour of the city. We all met up for lunch and had a great meal at one of those places that tourists will never find without a local connection.

Tom hooked Brian up with his friend Pat who knows the area roads very well and made suggestions for a more interesting route West than I-40. Spent the afternoon washing the bike and getting ready to move on.
