Albuquerque Rhymes with Turkey

So it's the morning. Saturday, November 20th. We're in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and it's COLD. And Jenny woke up all by herself before the alarm went off.
As you read in the last post, we found a great hotel with hair-free beds. They also have free high-speed wireless internet. It's nice to be free from the oppression of AOL for a day. We tried to steal wireless internet from the Flying J truckstop near Vega, Texas, but it turns out that they have some top-notch nerds on staff and I wasn't able to hack the system.
We saw the "Largest Cross in the Western Hemisphere" yesterday. It was big.
Our goal for today is to make it to Williams, Arizona, where everyone stops to see the Grand Canyon. I hope it's as grand as everyone says it is, but I'm pretty sure that seeing it in person will be NO different from seeing it on a postcard or in National Geographic or on the Apple II GS version of the Oregon Trail.

"Oooh, we think we're so great, we can put up more than one picture in the same post." Thanks for the feelings of inadequacy, guys!
