After the Badlands loop we return to Wall and we got a room at Welches Motel and the owner recommends a restaurant for us two blocks away

Our our room has a funny tiny tub, one like T J and I found in northern cal last year. Strange place, huge rabbits you can ride and tubs for little people.
I cannot get my photos over into icloud or on the ipad and I’m falling asleep from too much excitement today so I’m going to bed, Dad had been asleep for two hours. He puts in earplugs and fades away.
