tonight, we got a cheap hotel room in albuquerque because we both really needed to shower!!! i spent the evening figuring our next week or so on the road. so much to see, so little time left!  tomorrow we will see old town albuquerque, petroglyphs national monument, and head east towards tucumari to see some rt 66 memorabilia.  along the way we plan to stop and see the rt 66 automobile museum
