Albuquerque, NM

Again, it has been a while since I have posted and when people ask you if you are still alive, it is time to blog again. We left Deming two weeks ago (I can't believe it has been that long) and headed north. By late afternoon we had passed through Albuquerque and decided to stay at a casino RV campground about 20 miles north of Albuquerque. What a surprise when we were awakened that night by rain and thunder. We had not seen rain since January 15th and were really excited. Well, by now if have seen all kinds of weather and rain is not a rarity anymore. Tuesday we went to the Albuquerque Balloon Museum, which was pretty cool




I was surprised that the takeoff area for the balloons is really not that big, but was assured that there was plenty of balloons taking of at the festival and that all the RVs are able to find a place to park. Once you are there you might not get back out until it is all done, but everybody has a great time. We have not decided yet if we want to go to the balloon festival this year, or if we will go to the HDT rally.

The second place we wanted to check out was the Sandia Tramway. It is the world's longest tramway, but unfortunately, the weather did not accommodate us. The clouds where hanging low and there was no sense in trying to go the pick. So we moved on further north on Wednesday.
