While waiting for some positive info regarding the last parts for our brakes, we tried to explore areas of Albuquerque that we hadn’t seen yet. On a cool, windy Saturday, we walked a trail alongside I40 that crossed the Rio Grande river.
While the river was a muddy mess, the young lady in the pictures and the cliffhanger homes in the background certainly weren’t!
In old town, we walked some streets that were kinda hidden away. That’s when we came across a shrine commemorating one of the most well written and acted shows of recent memory (in our opinion, of course.)
Set in and around Albuquerque, Breaking Bad caught the attention of millions of viewers. This building is not only a souvenir shop, it is a certified museum, with hundreds of items from the show.
You may remember Salamancas wheelchair and bell!
And, of course, Mike….
And Los Pollos!
On what turned out to be our last Sunday in Albuquerque, we splurged on an early dinner at Pappadeaux’s, a southern, cajun, seafood kind of place. We’ve enjoyed their food at several locations and were pleased to see that they have a restaurant in ABQ.
Donna ordered giant, bacon wrapped shrimp with dirty rice and was only able to put away half of it!
The other dish was one that I had not had and, frankly, was a bit hesitant to get: Redfish Ponchartrain. I have to admit that it was absolutely wonderful! The browned butter and shrimp complimented the mild fish, and I was sad that I got full and had to quit eating!
On monday, the 17th of Aptil, the last of the brake parts arrived and the trailer was repaired. Unfortunately, the brake manufacturer changed their corporate minds and refused to warranty some of the parts, so we now have an investment in the new brakes, ourselves!
Nonetheless, we left town on 4/18/2023 with a functional rv. Good news! 288 miles later, we pulled into Ft Amarillo RV park, located on Route 66, on the west side of Amarillo.
The day was warm, 88 degrees, and the wind was blowing about 40 mph!
We’re pleased to be back on our planned trip, and even though we only have a couple of days here, we’re determined to enjoy it!
