with a crash of wood
Throws down in front of us is not to bar
Our passage to our journey's end for good,
But just to ask us who we think we are..."
- Robert Frost
The last two days of our adventure were the most trying of all. We awoke at the Bunkhouse to a beautiful frozen sunrise and we quickly packed up for our long haul home. Along the way we stopped and saw a few more places in Matfield Green just because we thought they looked so unique in the morning light.
Our midway point was Albuquerque New Mexico. After 12 hours of travel it was nice to crash at a decent Best Western that was quiet enough for me to have some peace. Also, Mom and Dad had what smelled to me to be amazing Mexican food from a place called Monroe's Cafe. The chicken fajita filled sopapilla and green chile stew were especially good.
Our last day of travel, in which we covered almost 800 miles, was marred by the last 100 miles. Once we got on the 15 freeway, we were 80 miles outside of LA when we had to go over the mountain pass... which was currently getting dumped on with snow. It took us 4 hours to go the 20 miles through the pass, and it was literally a brick wall at the end of our otherwise pleasant journey.
Finally we are home, sweet home! I was so excited to be back that I zoomed around the apartment for 10 minutes. Thanks to all who followed the trip and check back later for more of my adventures here in LA.
Love and Slobbery Kisses,
