Quick Trip To Albuquerque

Today, I had some business to attend to in Albuquerque.

I got on the road early this morning at 6:30 in 21° outside. A little bitter cold out. Before getting on Interstate 40, I stopped at the Flying J to get a cup of coffee to bring along.

One of the things I had to do was to exchange a pair of jeans I bought two weeks ago at Cabela's. The size was right, but the jeans were flawed. They had no rear belt loops. The other pair I bought at the same time had them.

I was able to exchange them without any problem. While there, I went over to the ammo section and the shelves were fully stocked. This was the first time in ages I've seen it stocked. I bought some Winchester 9mm hollowpoint rounds. 

After that, I did other things I needed to do.

As things turned out, I was done before noon. So I headed home instead of staying the night at the Route 66 RV Resort. 

On the way home, I did stop in Milan (about 30 miles from home) and tried out the Kiva Café for the first time. It is listed as a best place for enchiladas in the New Mexico Enchilada Trail. This was the third restaurant I've tried that's in the trail. I had chicken enchiladas. They were excellent. The sauce (red) was good, but I sweated profusely. (That's one way to tell if the sauce is any good.)

Before heading home, I went next door to the Chaco Trading Post to look around. It has to be one of the nicest gift shops I've seen here.

After browsing, I got back into The Beast and headed home.
