VIDEO: Another day, another mountain

This time, the mountain was in Albuquerque. Dan and I took the world's longest tram (they keep reminding you of that) to Sandia Peak, which is a whopping 10,000+ feet above sea level. The tram isn't for weak stomachs -- just like the food -- but it's worth the ride.

Eating here is not for the weak

A gentleman named Dan, a son of Ellen who is a friend of my mother, took me 'round the city today. We saw some Petroglyphs, as noted, and we also went to the National Atomic Museum.

And then. And then we ate.

New Mexico loves food. They love Mexican food. They love eggs, re-fried beans, rice, cheese, cheese, chile (red and green), cheese, and honey. I don't know how I ate what I ate. Should have taken a picture. Then again, any record of having eaten that might hurt my stomach.

Food. Delicious, filling, and heart-attack inducing. Welcome to The Southwest America.

Petroglyphs

If you've been here, maybe Petroglyphs National Monument in Albuquerque wouldn't even be worth noting. I'm sure it's much the same. Lots of pictures on rocks. Example:

Next, I will show you what New Mexico looks like:

Rabbit-ing around New Mexico

I made it to Albuquerque, where Bugs Bunny never made a left turn he didn't regret. I am staying with maybe the nicest family in the world. More tomorrow.

Not-very-notable sighting

For those of you who have watched Red Dawn, the story of a group of rebels who fight off Soviet and Cuban Communists when they invade Colorado during World War III (and also the first-ever PG-13 movie), be jealous.

My bus drove right pas Las Vegas, New Mexico, where much of the film was shot. Ha!

Hilarious sign sighting #436C

Right off the bus in Santa Fe:

Jesus was a community organizer. Pontius Pilate was a governor."

Wow. At this point, that takes the Best Sign of the Month cake. It was made even better because I had spent the last hour on the bus listening to the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack.
