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…

The annual Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta

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 …

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 …

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 …

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

The train pulled into the terminal and I caught the shuttle to the airport.  Did some souvenir shopping as I waited for my flight, then it was time to head back to Austin.  It was a great trip!!

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 da…

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…

So while I go to New Mexico at once or twice a year, I love it! And I thought I'd share some of my trips!

I couldn't get off the train quick enough :) We only stopped for an hour for the train to refuel and replenish.....Oh, and they cleaned the windows on the train. Which was a real plus point, as taking photo's was getting a bit difficult through the dust.... Nice one Amtrak :) The Native American …

This morning we stopped off at Einstein Bagels before heading out to Petroglyph National Monument for a good hike. The park is a few miles northwest of the city, and it was pretty easy to find thanks to road signs on the interstate and side roads. We went to the visitor center first, where the rang…

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 …
