Chillin' In Albuquerque

This morning, I made it to the Route 66 Casino Hotel RV Resort in Albuquerque for an overnighter.

I need to get a haircut and unlike a few months ago, where the only barbers open could be found in Arizona, Michelle, my regular hair-cutter in Albuquerque, is available.

So I headed to Albuquerque. It would be the third overnighter in the RV this year. The first was in Santa Fe, New Mexico in January. The second was at Ashurst Lake in Arizona last month. It is nice to get out of the house for a while, even to just get a haircut. That's my usual routine.

People have been recommending the Laguna Burger almost since I moved to New Mexico, so I may try one. It is a half pound hamburger with green chiles. 66 Pit Stop is across Interstate 40 from the Route 66 Casino Hotel and their shuttle, I found, takes visitors there. Now that I don't have to unhook the RV and drive over, I will likely give the Laguna Burger a try.

In the meantime, I am just relaxing in the RV with the air conditioning on. I might use the pool later. It is presently 93° in Albuquerque, according to the National Weather Service.

After the haircut tomorrow, I'll be heading back home.
