Well, tonight I'm also in Tucumcari, and now that I've looked around, it's
clear that my memory was faulty. We never stayed at the Blue Swallow. It was
always full when we tried to get in. I'm across the street and 100 yards
farther west at the Safari.

Interesting that the Blue Swallow also had dial phones and a dog in the
lobby, just like the Safari, but now the Safari has a new owner and the dog
and phones are gone. The new owner is a nice guy who's into music and runs a
very low power FM station with great music and no commercials.

Next time I'll try to get into the Blue Swallow.

Tried to eat at Del's tonight, but there was an hour wait. Good Mexican food
instead. There's no sign of Chewy's, so that must be a different town. Maybe
I'll come across it again someday. It's somewhere in this part of the
country.

Tomorrow, Santa Fe.

Was the VW meet in Las Vegas, NV or Las Vegas, NM? I'll be driving thru Las
Vegas, NM tomorrow.

I stopped by the Mid Point Cafe earlier today. Got there just as they were
closing, at 4 PM. They offered food and drink to go, but I only took a
photo.
