Day One - Part III

We made it to our hotel in Rawlins around 9:30 pm, almost exactly 13 hours after we left home. We stopped in Cheyenne for dinner. We ate at Casa De Trujillo. It was in a Hispanic part of town and appeared to be owned and run by Hispanics. There was a decent crowd. Should be good, right? The chips tasted like the frito looking things that you get with soup at a Chinese restaurant. The salsa wasn't bad.

The food arrived and I could see one enchilada on the plate swimming in red sauce. The other two were laying on the bottom of the plate totally covered with sauce. The beans and rice were on dry land. I tried the beans first. No flavor. Then I tried the rice. No flavor. Certainly the ocean of sauce would have flavor. Nope. Neither did the enchiladas. I had to drown them in salsa to get any flavor at all. Do NOT go to Casa De Trujillo if you are ever in Cheyenne!

Heading on to Rawlins we passed through some snow covered hills. It was 32 degrees when we checked in and windy, although not as windy as earlier in the day. We drove into a gorgeous sunset with some fantastic cloud formations. Time for bed. I'm anxious for tomorrow's beautiful drive!
