Woke around 6/7am Tuesday in Lake Havisu City, AZ, in one piece and untarnished, and got the show on the road with the quickness. Carlos and I skipped through Arizona, only being slowed by the monotony of single-lane construction, whose corridors crept up increasingly often throughout the remainder of my time in the truck. We got some breakfast (thanks again Carlos!), took in the sights, talked about trucking, the road/states, life, et al, and arrived in Albuquerque, NM about 6pm local time. And not only that, we pulled into the Flying J directly behind one familiar Ford Expedition, so high five for timing! Carlos and I said our goodbyes and he graced Dad and I with a couple melons fresh off the truck and we parted ways. Back to the high life: we dined in luxury at Scalo. I had lobster ravioli, Sara a delicious mozzarella and Gorgonzola white pizza with pears and caramelized onions, Dad a red sauce w/sausage pasta that assuredly was good but too meaty for Sara and I to partake in, and Smom rounded it off with a seafood trifecta of salmon, scallop, and shrimp atop a duo of thick noodles. Oh, and we had a calamari appetizer. Good stuff, Maynard. Went back to Sara and Antonio's, then over to Kyle and Jordan's for a movie and wine. Terrible, terrible wine. But the movie, The Big Bang starring Antonio Banderas of Nasonex fame, was semi-fabulous. Aka terrible, but in a way more delightful manner than the wine. Tried to watch Tombstone. Slept.
