On the Pecos River
Posted on 18. Nov, 2008 by Deb in On a Jet Plane, The Girl
I am in Carlsbad, NM and last night I stayed in a motel that I swear to you was a throw-back to the 60′s or 70′s and Family Road Trips. Except, I was alone in the room and without parents or a sibling. And to be honest, it was kind of….scary. Top that off with sketchy cell and no internet from the room…..I felt disconnected from home and friends – and had to call my daughter on a landline. I didn’t know landlines were the norm, ya know? Spoiled, I am, in my always-connected world.
I didn’t exactly sleep well.
Before we retired to the room, we did visit the hotel bar, which was lively and was, in all honesty, the most interesting people watching I had done in a really long long time. It, too, was a throwback to another time and another place. Lots of big hair and young men who thought the world revolved around them.
But. I have to say, that it’s beautiful here. The moon last night was amazing. And the view of the Pecos River from the meeting site is truly…breathtaking, isnt’ it.
How is your day?

Oh that is lovely. I mean, the alien lightposts are cool and quirky, but the river walk? Makes you want to sit there and write, no?
