Southwest Smorgasbord

After a 4am start from San Clemente we quickly got to Arizona and stopped at the first Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on our list. Salsa Brava, in Flagstaff did not disappoint with melt in your mouth carnitas and smokey chicken nachos. Yum! Thanks Guy for the great tip! 
                             
Next stop, Winslow, Arizona, which the Eagles made famous with the well known lyrics, "Well, I was standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, such a fine sight to see..."  So we are doing what the song suggests and "Takin' it easy". 
                                    
                           New Mexico truly stands up to its name, The Land of Enchantment
                                   
                                      
                                      
   The happy campers start the day at Sophia's for an excellent breakfast of authentic homemade Mexican food in Albuquerque. We will have to come back in the future since we missed the Weekend special of Blue Corn Flour Pancakes with fruit and nuts. Maybe next time.
                           

    Hello Texas, with your open space, beautiful skies and country music for the driver, of course
                                    
                                    
                  We thank God for the safe journey, 1300 miles in 2 days, Hallelujah!

That's a lot of mileage but looks like your trip is off to a great start! And now I have The Eagles in my head. :)
