On the Road Again

Some of my best thinking comes to me while road tripping. Little G and I recently drove from SLC, Utah to Mexico City, Mexico. I highly recommend this drive to anyone seeking a little adventure. In as few words as possible I will try to explain where I have been but not the why that is for you to wonder about.
Flew to Las Vegas, bought a car (low miles-great deal and it is YELLOW!), named the car bumble after the great state I was raised in, ate Hawaiian food (haupia and kalua pork) in Vegas casino, did not gamble (no time and I spent all my dough on the car), wait I did drop $1.00 into a slot machine- sorry to have lied, drove back to Utah, packed, repacked, repacked, repacked, drove to the border of Wyoming and Colorado, spent the night (very cold and windy the next day), drove to Golden Colorado, found a ranch guy in the mountains and bought a hard top for my jeep, worked a deal and traded him for my soft top!!, plowed through the snow, found the highway, headed towards New Mexico (I love that state), drove all night, stopped at the base of a volcano to watch the stars, spent the night in Clayton, bought snacks in Texline, drove to Amarillo, at this point I am really tired of eating Subway vegetarian subs, walked Little G through a park, hit the highway and drove to Fredricksburg, it was late and I was tempted to stay, got back on the road and stayed in San Antonio, SLEPT well all night, picked up Kim at the airport (she brought homemade cookies for the trip!!), went to payless for slippers (I had heard Mexico City is really cold now), went out for dinner on the river walk, the holiday lights looked great, walked G again-he barked at some homeless guy (very unusual for him), caught up on school gossip, slept well, drove to the border, passed through with ease!!, drove to Monterey, had an excellent meal!!, got lost, got found on the wrong highway, ended up taking side roads (rule number one broken), drove through huge mountains at night (rule number two broken), stopped the car to look at the stars (rule three broken), stayed in a small town Muhela (had no other choice but to sneak G into the hotel), went to Walmart (it was right there people), drove to San Louis Potosi- still on the free highways and not on the toll roads, bought strawberries from a fruit stand (the most dangerous move yet some would say), stopped in Isturbide to walk around the town (really cute place), headed back toward the city, ate Churches Chicken at a truck stop, no other women in the entire place filled with men- kinda weird- did not stay long, drove into the city, dropped Kim off at her house and hugged goodbye, went home and unpacked, went to bed.
