Andrews, TX

Friday we drove from Gilbert to Andrews, it was long and unlike the drive so far, the country side was not pretty to look at. We've seen wonders of nature on this drive, but this land was barren and the closer we got to Andrews a certain odor developed, some say its the smell of money, but believe me it smelled more like oil and sulfur mixed. We already knew about the smell, as Dick had previously warned me before we started the trip. This has been our longest day driving, over 10 hours and 700 miles. Dick and Jenni had a wonderful meal waiting for us and we had a good visit. Heard more about their time in Dubai and Dick set us up with his special alarm clock "Call to Prayer". It is a Muslin alarm clock and when the alarm goes off if sits you right up in bed. That morning they fixed us another big meal and we got on the road for Maud, TX
