Travelers' Pit Stop  

2/22/08 - Albuquerque, NM

We get a visit from Janet & Mark, formerly of San Francisco and soon to be of Washington D.C.

 
As a welcome reprieve from all the recent chaos that is our lives these days, we had the pleasure of an overnight visit on Wednesday from our friends Janet & Mark from San Francisco.  Upon their arrival in Albuquerque, they were in the midst of a cross-country drive/move from San Francisco to Washington D.C., where Janet has taken an architecture position with a former employer.  Janet's husband, Mark, also an architect, is looking forward to continuing his newfound 'International Man of Leisure' status for the time being and has big plans to hold court at the local coffee shop near their new apartment in the District.

We had a delightful time catching up with the travelers, sharing meals and travel tales at El Pinto New Mexican Restaurant and The Frontier, a famous  UNM area Albuquerque institution.  We even had time to take Mark & Janet on a quick tour of the new house. 

The pair seemed happy and relaxed; their current state of unemployment and life on the road seems to suit them.  Too bad it will all be over soon, at least for Janet, when they arrive on the East Coast in a couple days' time. 

Best of luck to Janet & Mark as they embark on their new East Coast life and aventures.  We look forward to returning the visit out in D.C. before too long!

Ahhh, to be carefree and in love!
