Old town above and Sandia Mountain below...hmm that's kind of funny.
I arrived in Albuquerque around 3pm or 15:00uhr for my Europeans...I drove straight to the Honda Dealership (they were expecting me) to swap out my headlight...after that was finished on I went to sightsee! I took the tramway to the top of the Sandia mountain range which sits on the north (yeah I could be wrong on that) side. BEAUTIFUL! :) It cost $15 but was completely worth it...especially if you eat in the restaurant (which I didn't - 'cause that was a bit more) but I hiked around the mountain for an hour or so. The funny thing was that I felt so small as I looked over this range. I could see for miles and miles. It was kind of strange to see Ski Runs without snow on them though. It wasn't lonely or anything, just peaceful. I know it sounds hokey, but it really was cool. I then went to my hotel to drop things off and continued to "Old Town" - it really is old. The houses from the first settlers still stand and I thought it was quite lovely that there was a wedding in the park at sunset. I ate dinner inside a lovely restaurant which happened to be inside the first home built...Was a great afternoon! The people are so friendly here and hey I saw cowboys this morning in Elk City...yup, theys was talking 'bout the rodeo, yeehaw! :) Wow, was that just this morning...it's starting to blend together. Off to the Grand Canyon tomorrow...I'm soooo excited!

Great pics once again, Vick! Albuquerque (that's really how you spell it?) looks very relaxing... I should go there sometime to unwind...
Yo! :) thanks for looking at my blog...I think you may be the only one. :) At least you're the only one that comments on it. Yeah, Albuquerque was cool, but I would say, fly there! Most of the drive is pretty freakin boring.
