One mile high in the Land of Enchantment
290 miles today, from Amarillo TX to Albuquerque NM. Thankfully, no driving tomorrow. We checked into our B&B, which has a beautiful patio where I'm writing this right now.
Albuquerque is a mile above sea level, at the foot of the Sandia Mts. Few buildings are more than a single story, and a lot of the architecture is pueblo style. It's lovely to be in a city that looks so different from what we're used to.

In the afternoon, we drove a few miles to Petroglyph Natl Monument, which was a truly bizarre landscape. Paths wind through black basalt boulders that were coughed up by a line of volcanoes along the western edge of the mesa. Many of the boulders are covered with petroglyphs carved 400-700 years ago. Stark, kind of eerie, and amazing.
