Flew into Albuquerque early in the morning and with the hour pick-up for moving from Central to Mountain Time, we had a full day to head for Santa Fe.  New Mexico has always resonated with me and this excursion ended a fifteen year absence.  There are a myriad of mystical landscapes here, but what I like best are the extended stretches that have no telephone poles – the simple deficiency begging that modern people have yet to muddy nature with ‘progress’.   ...

Work ping-ponged us from the dust of Galisteo, to the streets of Albuquerque, back to the stage in Santa Fe, only to put us, once again, in the New Mexican desert. This time it was the Indian Reservation of To'hajilee, 40 miles to the west of Albuquerque. Our old friends dust and wind were back in full swing. This time with the added excitement of rattle snakes. But we brought out the goggles and hats and hired a snake wrangler, and everyone survived. Our home for this location was the Route ...

It's been great to be back in Albuquerque the past few months, because more than anything else, I miss the food! I even made a trip out to New Mexico in 2004 for the sole purpose of eating. Here is what could be waiting for you:(Note: This may be a bad idea if you have Acid Reflux disease or are on some sort of a low fat diet) Grandy's Restaurant - 1400 Juan Tabo Blvd Here is where you can find the best chicken nuggets you will ever have. You can get them with your choice of two sides. I...

Here are some pictures of the Capital, its very nice and well kept. In the summer this place is very crowded with torists.

Jag and I enjoyed a good night's sleep and an early wake-up call.  After breakfast, which we brought from home, we returned to the beautiful La Posada Hotel to take photos of this incredible structure.  Built in 1930 to serve the rail-traveling public, the hotel was closed down when rail was no longer the most common form of cross-country travel.  Scheduled for demolition, La Posada was purchased by a very talented artist and her husband who have done an incredible job of resto...

Went to visit a friend for her birthday and to look in on my property. It's only 5 acres, but it's mine.

Well after many emails, changes and special requests, we have finally decided on a tour guide. Now it is time to hit the books, and learn a bit about the sites. Over the course of my life, I have logged doezens of hours wathcing PBS and discovery specials about Egypt, but they are all jumbled up in my head. I am so excited I am obsessively surfing the internet, reading travellers blogs, and looking at pictures while dreaming of adventure.  I would love to hear from anyone who has been th...

Automobile racing, especially open wheeled racing is one of my enjoyments. We had stopped a few days ago at a NASCAR museum after my second son begged me to, but today I got to go to one where I felt more comfortable. The Unser Racing Museum is located here. It covers everything from the early days of dirt and Pike Peak racing up to and including the much more recent Indianapolis 500 wins and all of the family who have not only raced but won. This racing family has a massive number of ...

I've taken some photos and altered them a bit

Flying into Los Angeles then getting the Amtrak Southwest Chief to Chicago, then the Amtrak Lake Shore Ltd to New York City.

My niece had this big yen to go to Albuequerque. She liked the name of it. She despartely tried to get a picture of the sign as we were driving as we were driving on the free way. She seen a sign coming up and yelled sign and scared the shit out of my mom who was sleeping. Then Nana and I burst into giggles for at least 10 minutes at my mom glared at us.We hit some traffic and seen a car accident on the way. We drove and drove and drove. Well I drove as everyone in the car slept. The big ...
