Day 6 Holbrook AZ pop. 5000

Sitting in a wigwam (which isn't really a wigwam but a more of a teepee according to our resident anthropologist-Deb) listening to the rain.  Hopefully our wigwam will remain dry.  Today began for some of us at 4:00 a.m.  Reminds me of the day of getting up early to look for moose only this time we were looking for balloons.  Karen and I went to the International Balloon Fieata in Albuequerque.  It was amazing, many different colors, sizes and styles.  SpongeBob had a very difficult time getting his balance but the crowd broke out with cheers when he took off successfully.  There are no computers in the wigwam so can't post pictures but will try tomorrow.  A trip to the airport was not as fun as the balloon watching.  We decided that going back to the hotel with anything less than a van, we would have to face Deb which would not be good before Starbucks.  Went back to Albuquerque and went to Old Town where some shopping was accomplished including raspberry chocolate and chocolate and peanutbutter.  We stumbled upon 5 veterens of WWll who were signing books related to the Navaho Code Talkers. It was very interesting and quite moving.  We left New Mexico and realizing that we still have a long ways to go before getting to CA, drove faster and longer than previosly.  Had qiute a rain storm which resulted in the most beautiful double rainbow which originated in our car.  And that brings us to Holbrook AZ and the tee pee wigwam!   We have over 600 miles to go and I can't imagine the adventures that await us down the road.  Good night and 10-4!!
