Heights
Yesterday, we took the tram to Sandia Peak. The most surprising thing for me was the change in seasons. At the base, it was t-shirt weather. At the peak, I found myself jealous of Roomie, who brought her wool cap along for the ride. My gloves and hat remained at the motel. We hiked a bit on the service road, where a nice old lady on snowshoes guided us to the nature trail above. On the top of the mountain, we met the King of the Mountain. We were impressed. The altitude caught up to us, and we headed back to the tram for the ride back down.
After coming down from the mountain, we took some pictures of rocks and the views from the high country above Albuquerque. En route to Corrales, the town to which that we suspect our friend referred, we got a call from his nephew. He extended an invitation for us to come visit his house and join him in walking his dog. We appreciated the opportunity to stroll around his neighborhood, which (to us) seemed reasonably priced and a decent place to live. We really like Albuquerque.
Now we are off to Taos, where I (and hopefully Roomie) will do a little skiiing. It is a rich person's hobby, but it is a sport in which I too seldom indulge. Let's hear it for indulgences!
