Celebrating Fourth of July Western Style!

July 6th, 2009

Rodeo

After listening to locals and some serious googling on where and how to properly celebrate the Independence Day of the US, our choice fell on the deserted town of Grants, New Mexico. Despite local warnings of the small town, it certainly presented a much anticipated piece of America, as it hosted the Wild West Days Rodeo. The show definitely kept us entertained with attractions ranging from Cowgirl Barrel Racing to the good ol´ Bull Riding. Struck by the charming western spirit, we even considered joining the advertised Dance at the Cow Palace later that night. Realizing the probable attendants would surpass our age by a couple of generations, we buckled up once more in our fierce Expedition and hit the dusty road, taking us to Flagstaff, Arizona.

In short, the celebration of the The Glorious Fourth continued in Flagstaff as it should with Italian dinner, live Latin American music, some pool and clubbing. God bless America!

Quick update from Albuquerque

July 4th, 2009

Just a little heads up, before we start the July 4th celebrations: We’ve now gotten ourselves through Texas and up into New Mexico, where we’re currently staying in Albuquerque. It’s a city the size of Oslo, and Stefan, Cameron and Erlend are testing out the nightlife. Those of us who stayed behind, went to the 24 hour open Walmart to secure the water supply for the next days.

We’re not quite sure what we’ll do tomorrow, there’s some Rodeo in Grants, but we’ve been told the town is nothing to speak of. There’s also a village called San Ysidro (pop. 238) that will host a rodeo competition. Both are about one hour drive away, so who knows what we’ll do.
