Tiger Woods = number 1 (he's a golf player stupid...)

Americans like ranking lists. And who does not?

So Norita, my cousin where we're staying now, in New Mexican Albuquerque likes to be ranked as a host. She asked for it so here are the points.

1. Lodging: *** ad 1

2. Dining: ***

3. Breakfast: **

4. Guiding: **

5. Driving us around *****

6. Patience and unserstanding *****

7. Trying to make us comfortable ******

All could have been five. Some remarks:

ad 1. Generally good.But we only had one bathroom. We had to polish shoes ourselves. And the beds were not made every day.We expected kingsize and room television. No roomservice possible. No wifi. But great compensation, using her computer.

ad 2. Taste and volume gorgeous. But we ate too much due to the perfect flavour and composition. It was seducing us in a sneaky way... And out eating, she took remnants of the meal, a good American custom but I was not allowed to drink my bottle of beer empty underway, she being afraid of the sheriff? And the beer was the remarkable Fat tire.

That's no five butthree stars

ad 3. Only three brands of coffee to choose from. No roomservice.

ad 4. Nice places we visited. But too much information. And some mistakes about John Deere performances. Not her fault but info about the computer history in the ABQ History Museum stopped in 1982... And why didn't she keep Bill Gates in NM and did he leave for Seattle? Or better, didn't she start action to get Microsft back?

ad 5. A new car to show us around. Nice info about things to see underway. And respecting th traffic lights more than I should have done.

ad 6. With this type of guests she shows a great endurance and patience.

ad 7. A new rating star, because it's gorgeous to see her and Hank do everything that's possible to make us feel comfortable in ABQ.

This is our first impression. New test and checking today and we're waiting for a mystery guests's results.
