Today marks our first full day in New Mexico. We began the day waking up in Albuquerque; my room mates and I celebrated the beginning of the day by lying in bed and watching the movie Annapolis. After watching this marvelous film (starring James deFranco), Jane Lee and I traveled downstairs to experience the free continental breakfast, in all of our pajama glory, which Comfort Inn provided for us. My roommates and I went back to sleep shortly after returning from the magnificent waffle-filled breakfast, but we were forced into preparing ourselves for the day by the impeding needs of the cleaning lady to prepare our room for the next customers.
Our next adventure was waiting for the rental vans, all seven of them, to arrive at the motel. When they did arrive, the youth became excited at the sight of a minivan that was an excellent shade of blue—we became disappointed as soon as we realized that this particular van was being given to the adults to use; however, our youth have come to know and love our motley crew of vans, especially Chad’s significantly smaller-engine-sized white vehicle.
Our group was joined during our day in Albuquerque by the fantastic Megan Rose! The youth went to Frontier, a common hangout for the college crowd of the town, for lunch. We experienced the hectic and hurried lines of people and the demanding cashiers. The restaurant was filled with excellent pieces of art, featuring a wall-sized painting of John Wayne that Chad greatly favored to all the other pieces. It was at this point that we all traveled to Santa Fe to REALLY begin our mission trip.
