We arrived at our destination on top of the hill west of Albuquerque and from here are able to see the Sandia Mountains across the valley of the Rio Grande River and the sprawl of Albuquerque. We will be here until Monday, September 14 at which time we will head to our next volunteer gig.

The trip from the Ute Mountain Ute place was uneventful. The route does take us through Shiprock, NM and along the edge of Monument Valley; so, the scenery is pleasant. We did have a delightful lunch with Barb, a classmate of mine growing up together in Lititz, PA seemingly in a galaxy far, far away. She is a retired Indian Health Service nurse living in Gallup, and we try to visit with her when we are going through.

Our campground in Albuquerque is across Interstate 40 from Camping World, and we have an appointment there on Friday morning. Stopping at Camping Worlds is almost mandatory for RVers, and few of us rarely can drive by one without making an appointment for some kind of servicing.

We also have an appointment with an internal medicine vet for Tuzi’s liver situation. That occurs tomorrow, and our consultation will provide a second opinion as to what is going on with her. Of course she shows no symptoms of anything except jealousy for Lilly and great angst for any dogs walking by our motor home.

Our time in Albuquerque will go by fast. With vet and RV appointments, time spent in Old Town, visiting with some fun nieces of Earl’s, and trying to make up for a lack of green chilies in our diet, time will go fast.
