Albuquerque and Sante Fe

Over the 4th of July weekend we went down to Albuquerque to see my brother and his family. Albuquerque is almost a half way point between where he lives and Denver. It was a wonderful weekend! We spent some time in Sante Fe on the way back home as well.

These first two pictures are from Sante Fe. I love the architecture in both of these towns. It is so vastly different from the South where I grew up.

We to the Petrolglyph National Monument in Albuquerque where there are rock carvings in the volcanic rock from 200-over 2,000 years ago.

It is fascinating to think that these carvings could be that old!

We also spent some time in Old Town Albuquerque.

Isn't the carving in the tree beautiful?




It was a wonderful trip, and I can't wait to go back again.

Great pics! I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of that area some day. I remember seeing mention of the Petroglyphs when doing the maps for our 60 Hikes Albuquerque book a few years past. Keep it up!
