Roadtrip Day 3

How beautiful is the Painted Desert? After exploring Albuquerque this morning, we headed to Arizona. In Albuquerque we saw the International Balloon Fiesta where hundreds of hot air balloonists are in the sky for a week all at the same time...pretty cool! Then we visited Old Town Albuquerque and grabbed lunch at the same place we ate last night. Normally I like to try different places, but it was just so good! My new favorite thing is posole or green chile stew. They also had the best flour tortillas! I could eat those all day. After I spilled some posole on myself and my pillow, we headed to Arizona.

As you can see by the picture, we visited the Painted Desert. The Petrified Forest is in the same park, and we saw that too. It has tons of petrified wood scattered all over the forest. One really cool thing we saw when we were leaving the park was the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, AZ. Have you seen the movie Cars? Well, it looked like it came straight out of it. There was even a Towmater parked in front of one of the Wigwam teepees. I'll post those pictures later.

We're stopping in Flagstaff, AZ for the night. We haven't eaten yet, so we'll grab some food before bedtime. But we have to rest up because tomorrow is the Grand Canyon!

There are so many pictures I'll post later when I get my computer back...yes, I said back! It's all better! The Apple store fixed the recalled video board. God is always faithful. He reminded me of that yesterday through the "healing" of my computer and through His word. I was beginning to get anxious about our house selling when I read some feedback from a realtor that showed the house last week (on moving day by the way). I decided to read His word so my fears would be calmed. I know that He will always provide but sometimes I just need reassurance. This is the verse I read, "For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers, as you still do." Hebrews 6:10
