Lots of Fellow Travelers Today
Nice Footage of Some of the Bosque Trail
We planned to take an earlier trip across Albuquerque to ride the famed Bosque Trail this morning but Jacque had some last minute Easter sewing projects that couldn't be put off.
We got to the Bosque right close to noon, which might have left us plenty of time for a lengthy ride up and down the river and ditch-banks trails. Trouble is, Jacque had a date to meet one of her Church chums at her home to watch LDS Women's Conference tonight, so we were not able to ride until sunset or even close to it, since she had to get home and cleaned up so she could get over to Sandye's house by 5:30-ish.
Since it was so close to Noon when we started and my stomach was acting like my throat had been cut, we decided to just do a lazy ride over to Old Town and do lunch there.
We have eaten at Tio Chava's Cantina before, and since they allow us to seat our doggies at the outdoor patio tables, we ate there again. Mercy, their food is great. Highly recommended, even for teetotalers like us.
The weather was absolutely perfect today, not even a hint of wind. Just warm enough to be wonderful, and I fearlessly left my windbreaker and other layers in the car. Foolishly, likely, too, since this IS New Mexico, Land of Unpredictable Weather. Nope, it was great.
We spent more time at the restaurant than riding the trike, eating our gourmet hamburger with scalding-hot guacamole sauce for dressing (YUM!)
We also had to deal with the adoring public which always materializes around our cute pooches. They dealt fairly well with the adoring masses, putting on good behavior, until another couple walked into the patio with a couple of fluffy Pomeranians, at which Jazzy took immense offense. After nearly strangling her trying to get her to shut up and sit down, things calmed down and we could rest long enough for our red faces to fade.
After getting underway again, we looked at our clocks and decided we'd better boogie straight back to the trike-hauler Subaru and trailer combination so we could get Jacque back in time. This leg involved meeting all kinds of walkers and cyclists, many pulling kid-carrier trailers, which we show just a few of in today's thrilling videos.
