Close Encounters of the Third Kind

by

Del Rio, TX 1am

I apologize if my post this time is short but honestly, I got to this point where I’m tired of driving, travelling and I just want to be home. So I’ll let the pictures speak more than words itself.

Dic. 16
From Williams I drove like 2 hours and a half to go to the Grand Canyon. Amazing place and I liked the fact that there was snow. I always had this picture of the Canyon being all dry and hot. Ursulito had fun playing in the snow.

Around 3pm I started driving to the south. It was tough as I had to drive for like 8hrs. Finally I arrived to Roswell at 2am. Staying at a Motel 6, thanks to the fabulous coupon my friend Luis gave me. I went to have something to eat cause I was starving after eating only leftovers from Chipotle the day I left Vegas.

Today’s statistics:
Drove 1138km (already hit the 13,000km)
2 gas stops
1 bathroom stop
Food: Ham and cheese sandwich, cheeseburger and fries from Whataburger, 1 Red Bull, 1 Boing

Today’s song: Black and Gold- Sam Sparrow

Woke up in Roswell. I wanted to sleep more but it was time to hit the road again. Went to the post office for the last time in this trip. No more postcards. Took some pictures. Roswell is kind of ugly and the only thing ”interesting” was that supposedly this UFO crashed in 1947. Drove and drove and drove. Saw lots of deers (like 10) and smelled a lot of skunks during the road. Thank God for the iPod the road is less boring. Finally I arrived to Del Rio, TX around 10pm. Another coupon, another Motel 6. Church’s chicken and ready to go to bed, tomorrow I hope I’ll be in Mexico.

Today’s statistics:
Drove 680km (hit the 14,000km)
2 gas stops
No bathroom stops
Food: Church’s chicken (2 piece), mashed potates, mac & cheese, iced tea.

Today’s song: Hold Tight!- Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich
