Up, Up and Away




Friday was our day to drive south to Albuquerque. We took the Turqoise Trail Scenic Route and were rewarded with seeing buffalo at a stockyard facility. They are such huge animals and so hairy!

We visited the Tinker Town Museum and fell in love with that quirky place. Next stop was Sandia Peak. Years ago we drove up to the crest, this time we took the Tramway. It is the World's Longest Aerial Tramway and one area has you 900' from the ground below. It is a beautiful ride and we had good weather at the top. We did a short nature hike and enjoyed the clean air and beautiful views.

Later we ate more Mexican food in the Old Town Plaza and did some more shopping. After Santa Fe, Albuquerque seems too big and not so genuine.
