Next stop Albuquerque





As we were driving around we came across this cemetery. It looked interesting so we drove through it and came across the odd grouping of crosses. The stone told us who they were. Odd what piques a person's interest.

Since we were a little lost and it was rainy so no sun we were grateful for the compass that was won of the extras that came with our van. Knowing we had to go mostly south and some west, we followed the hiway that headed in those directions and eventually found the one we wanted.

Albuquerque seemed to be a lot like Sante Fe with an "old town" area much like the one in Sante Fe.

Had to skip another side trip because of the weather. I had wanted to take a gondola ride to the top of Sandia Peak, but the weather was cloudy and windy so could see no point in paying to go up 10,000 feet to look at clouds.

Our route had to be changed because of the weather. The Albuquerque local news told us that schools were closed in Gallop and Flagstaff so we had to go a little out of our way and go south to Las Cruces and then west to miss what sounded like about a foot of snow in the mountains.

More to come. Hope you can contain your excitement.

Interesting! It looks like a military cemetary.
