Oh god, that was surprisingly good. BACON CHEESEBURGER! Nom.
Yeah, I got off at Albuquerque to grab a bite, stretch my legs and get some warmth back in the ol’ body. These train air-conditioners are criminally cold.
After the nomz, I wandered around the train as it was being refueled and inspected to get some pictures. I met the nice New Zealander who I had dinner with last night and we had a short chat about train discomfort and the value of these long stops.
Whoa.
That was odd. As I was writing the bit above, someone tapped me on the shoulder. I looked up expecting a fellow traveler but got a paunch and a badge.
Apparently the Albuquerque Police Department wants to know about my trip as much as I want to talk about it.
Oh well, can’t be too careful around bearded, turbaned tourists traveling alone, can we?
