Sarah and I are now in Albuquerque. The trip from Cortez, CO to here was nice, but not really as wonderful as yesterday.

We hit Durango, where I got to see a narrow gauge steam engine. And we hit Santa Fe, where I decided I never want to drive in Santa Fe again.

Also on this trip, I’ve decided that I hate driving. A lot. I love riding, of course, but driving a car (at least a new car), I basically loathe. It is now in my immediate future to not own a car. Yeah, I know that I “just” bought a Yaris and it’s great and all, but I would very much like to not have or drive a car.

Of course, this would mean living in a place where I can ride year-round, but that’s been in the works for a year or so.

We ate at Fei’s Cafe in Albuquerque. It’s a vegan Chinese place and it’s pretty amazing. Very extremely healthy (compared to most Chinese food) and pretty yummy.

My hosts from before, Cortney and Sabra, are my hosts again and I’m really happy to be back. We hung out with them and their family - a lot of folks, including Gavin, stopped by. It’s a great community scene here. I dig it immensely.

Here are my pics.
