We had an "early" start this morning. We were having breakfast by 7:15 am so we could get to Carlsbad Caverns National Park. One dilemma we had is that we SHOULD have bought tickets at least 2 days ago to make reservations for one of the tours. But since we had not done that we wanted to get there early to see if could get stand-by tickets. We got to the Caverns and all the tours were full. So we bought tickets for a Tuesday morning tour. Then we headed off on a self-guided walking tour that went to the areas which we open to the public. It took an hour to get down to the main area and then a 1 1/2 hour tour in the Big Cavern.
omewhere along the line my camera battery died. The other battery is currently still being charged back in Albuquerque. Darn. I had to switch to my phone. It did a fairly good job.
Then we went home. Nathan and Rebecca made chocolate mug cakes. That was fun exercise in creative cooking. We did bring Rebecca's toaster oven with us to make them and we had all the ingredients.
We relaxed a bit while George tried to repair our rental car. I forgot to mention than on our drive down to Carlsbad when it was late on Sunday, George ran over a dead dear in the road. There was some damage to the vehicle and a certain amount of information you do not want to know. Anyway today he was trying to repair a part of the bumper that was a little damaged. When that was done it was time for supper. We went up the road to a pizza place. Nothing to write home about but it was filling. After supper we looked at some pictures of George's mom when she was growing up.
