Update about blogCa

I-40 picked up the old Rte. 66 somewhere along the way, maybe Little Rock, maybe Oklahoma City. But it is the 100th anniversary of Rte 66 so I enjoyed thinking about my parents driving on part Of it in. St. Louis at least. Here we continued from Santa Rosita to Gallup NM, then left both highways to go north to CO.

Lunch by the creek

 A motel across the creek and parking lot, while I sat on the patio waiting for my friend.


 Everyone wore masks until they started to eat. Except wait staff, which continued to wear theirs.


And so we ate lunch by Flat Creek, out on the patio at Ole's Guacamole. The table next to ours was removed for more spacing between people. I found a great list of vegetarian dishes and settled on vegetable enchiladas...which had lots of cheese which isn't on my diet. Oh well. It was delicious.

      I met another friend there for dinner tonight (Mon.) and we enjoyed the fresh air by the stream.

      It was a bit more crowded at dinner-time Mon. night...before getting dark. I was home by 8 and the sun didn't set till much later.

    When you said "Except wait staff," I was a bit startled until you clarified. :)

Thanks for commenting! I tried moderating, thinking that would be a quicker way to check on comments, but actually it takes more time. So go ahead and talk amongst yourselves, and I'll check in when I can!!
