New Mexico
Here we are in
Albuquerque, NM after 3 days of driving from Padre
Island, TX through rural Texas and New Mexico. We
had the wonderful good fortune of being hosted by
campers we met at Padre Island and have camped on
the Martinez's land and at the Coronado State
Monument Campground on the banks of the Rio Grand
River. We also arrived in time for the
International Balloon Festival with balloonists from
all over the world flying over Albuquerque!
It was such a contrast here from being on the beach with huge vistas and the Sandia Mountains ever-present to the east. We love the cool temperatures
and the warm people here! Click on the pictures for a large version.
