update: end of day 6

My last entry was from Thursday afternoon when we arrived in Roswell, NM. I didn't post anything from that night, well, because nothing went on. I guess we could have sat outside with our cameras waiting to see some UFO's, but instead we decided to order some pizza, relax, and take full advantage of the good internet.

Friday morning we enjoyed some nice continental breakfast, (finally) and headed out to a UFO museum. It was very cheesy, not so well put together, but still fun. Of course, I had to get a banana milkshake before leaving town, (my fourth one) then we headed off to Albuquerque, NM to stay with some friends of mine. I decided to drive the whole 200 miles since I'm not very good at sitting still in the passenger seat.

After a quick lunch, we arrived at Alan and Andrea's house somewhere around 4:00pm. Since we only had a little less than a day in Alburquerque, they decided to take us up into the the Sandia mountains. Leaving the house around 6:30, we arrived at our destination, which is just under 11,000 ft, in time to see the sun set. The views from up there are amazing. It's almost a 360˚ non obstructed view of the surrounding areas. Breathtaking. The air up there seems so pure, easy to breathe, and very relaxing. Caleb and I both got some cool pictures, especially with the huge lightning storm that was off in the distance. We got back around 9:00 and were served homemade spiced pepper soup, fajitas, and creme brulee. Homemade food is a nice change and it also allowed me to try some new foods, which I actually liked.

So, now we're off to another scenic spot before heading out to the Grand Canyon.

-Take care.
