We accidentally let the laptop's battery run down entirely yesterday, but we're back up and running now! We cooked a yummy dinner together last night, and this morning Alex was mostly in charge of breakfast. Steamed potatoes fried up with eggs, cheese, and LOTS of garlic. We discovered that we have the good fortune to all enjoy garlic, so we put a lot in pretty much everything.
We took a walk later to exercise ourselves and the cats.... We forgot that they're black, so obviously not well equipped for the hot desert sun! We only made it a short way out before we had to turn back for water and a break (lying on the cool concrete restored them quickly). Bo was smart and mostly hid under bushes while he was "hiking". Sparky cried a lot and cussed at the fire-ant hills, but did stick with us through the whole way. :)We are about to get back in the truck and make our way to Albuquerque to meet up with one of Alex's fraternity brothers for a late dinner, and then we have a very long day the next day so we can make it to Columbia by the 14th! Look for more pictures to be put up while we're on the road.

Cussing at the fire-ant hills? Who does that sound like? I remember somebody's mommy cussing at the fire-ant hills, the cactuses, the desert, pretty much anything else in sight on a hike once. :)
I'm pretty impressed with your boys there that they can be let out with you to hike and be trusted to return when and where they should. That's some good voodoo.
