From my travel journal: Wednesday 6 April, 11.15 pm
Albuquerque, New Mexico
If I gain nothing else from this trip, at least I’ve finally learnt how to spell Albuquerque 🙂
A very long and adventure-packed day. We’ve only just got into Albuquerque (ok, now I’m just showing off ;-)) at the very late hour of what we thought was quarter to 10, but we discovered is actually quarter to 11 – finally that time zone change we expected to hit in Arizona has caught up with us.
Earlyish start again tomorrow, so need to sleep now. Hopefully I’ll remember everything well enough in the morning to be able to do some catching up while we’re on the road.
No mention that Pluto is no longer a planet? It’s nice to know that Lowell Observatory is hanging in there, anyhow!
I’m thoroughly enjoying the photo tour!
I was born in Albuquerque and lived there until I was 13. It’s an interesting place. I really do hope you were able to make it to Old Town!
P.S. I also hope you were able to go up the Sandia Tram. The views are stunning, especially after dark when the whole Rio Grande river valley lights up.
My aunt and uncle used to live in Albuquerque. They loved it there. My aunt always commented on how friendly people were to them when they were newcomers to the area late in life….
