Albuquerque, NM

Roadrunner





Rio Grande








Finally found RT 66. The campground is actually located on it! We went into the "Old Town" section today. Went to a Science Museum and of course watched a movie ;-) It was about the Colorado River and how much it has gone down in the last ten years. The museum was a lot about dinosaurs. Pretty interesting. Many artifacts of dinosaurs found in the area. From there we went to the Pueblo Indian Cultural Center. We just missed the dancing by 20 minutes or so, that was disappointing. The exhibits were neat. Not a large place but it is amazing how much Maine Indians have in common with the Indians here in the West. A couple of other events today. We crossed the Rio Grande and was able to see it today. All of the things we learned in school make such an impression when you actually see them. The other neat thing was a roadrunner actually ran across the road (how appropriate) while we were walking on the sidewalk. He ran right in front of us.
