Route 1: Albuquerque, NM
April 1st, 2009
Greetings to all from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Our day began with beautiful sunshine that soon gave way to high gusting winds and the threat of a storm bringing rain and snow to the area. The rain and snow held off, but the gusting winds reached 50 MPH. Would you believe the day before temperatures were near 80 degrees, with no wind at all? As one of the locals proclaimed, “that’s Albuquerque for ya.“ Climate changes of 40 degrees in a 24-hour time period are common place and the norm for this area. Warm temperatures in the afternoon and cold at night are an everyday occurrence.
Coronado shopping plaza was our event location. Together with the Animal Humane Society of New Mexico, we were successful in finding new homes for many of the pets, as a constant stream of potential adopters kept us busy all day. Working together is the way to get things done. It has always been a pleasure working hand-in-hand with our friends in Albuquerque.
After a successful adoption event, we now move on to San Antonio, Texas. “On the road again. I just can’t wait to get on the road again.“
