WOW. We have come to the end of the road with the blog and I can't believe that this will be our last post. We have been pretty crap with posts since we arrived in Florida and then Texas. So here is a re-cap on what we have done since leaving L.A in August. Well we moved in with Stirling, who kindly gave up his home for us and he slept in a caravan in the garden, plus he let us drive his car the whole time.

We checked in to our super cheap and very nice hotel room at the Riviera (thanks for the recommendation Pete). We, of course, headed straight out to the strip to check out our surroundings and do some gambling! What a crazy place! The most disturbing of which was how many people had brought their children.

When we arrived at out hotel we were told that there were no rooms and that the online registration should no...

Aluburquerque (ABQ) in one sentence....Breaking Bad tourist stuff everywhere in a town with a really old - for America - Spanish town square. I guess we didn't get the time to really dig deep, but the folk we met at the hostel were friendly and interesting. We learned a thing or two about the film industry there and the buzz going on with that little hub and we got the low down on Santa Fe and Taos from a local who was in ABQ visiting friends. It's also the fir...
