On Sunday Morning I woke up and had continental breakfast. We packed up and drove all day again. On the road from Farmington to Alburqueque we saw lots of road kill, tons of nothingness, and one random llama in the middle of nowhere sitting on a pile of gravel. Go figure. It was cool though.
When a little further than halfway to Alburqueque we stopped at a McDonalds in a small town called Cuba. We each got a burger and then Dad got mad at me for flinging the sliding door on the van open...I was annoying because I really didn't mean to.
After about another hour of driving we drove through Alburqueque. It's a really big city and very fun to drive through. It had NINETEEN freeway exits...
A bit after Alburqueque we stopped in a town called Belen for gas.
After Belen we drove for like another 3 hours all the way to Las Cruces. It was agonizing and I went quite crazy. We watched lots of sagebrush and our windsheild becoming increasingly more covered with bug splatters. By the time we got to Las Cruces we had several GIANT yellow splatter from monarch butterflies (not to mention probably a thousand little clear splatters). At one point we came just inches from nailing a bird. That would have been really sad. (Sorry if this bit grossed anyone out.)
In Las Cruces we stopped for a bathroom break and watched dad clean off (more like scrape off) all the bug guts. After that we drove around to many hotels and this time shopping around paid off. We found a nice hotel that was under renovation (but half of it was still old, which was the part we stayed in). And I think it was only $50 or something...not sure. But a lot cheaper than anything else around. We settled in and I just did random stuff for the rest of the day. I played catch with Dad and Janessa, took pictures of my siblings in the pool, watched TV, and other random stuff.
