In and around the city of Albuquerque New Mexico

We have been here in Albuquerque New Mexico for about a month now (July 10 to Aug 10) and have been very busy each and everyday trying to get around and see all the wonderful things Albuquerque has to offer. It is difficult to describe Albuquerque. It is both ancient and cutting edge, equal parts cool and quaint, it is an oasis in the high desert full of people with rich histories and inspiring ideas you won't find anywhere else.

Below we are offering a variety of random pictures that we have taken and want to share with you with the ideal that if you ever come here to visit it will give you some idea of the different thanks you could see or do.
View from Tram of Sandia Mt going up  from valley to the Peak
Their were 2 trams, As one goes up another one goes down. We are meeting this one
At the Peak of Sandia Mt. looking down in the valley on the city of Albuquerque

 A trip on the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway transports you above deep canyons and breathtaking terrains a distance of 2.7 miles and up to 10,378 feet above the foothills of Albuquerque.  It's only a 3819 ft vertical rise. NOTE the Tram in different pictures.To the right on this picture
More pictures of Mt as we go down

As we watched  Tram coming toward us as we are descending
At the top  of Sandia Mt., Albuquerque is on the West side. This is looking East. Little rain storm in the distance
In Albuquerque most of the houses are adobe. This is just a unique house among the adobes 

Another unique house next door to the one above and below

Passenger Trains make several trips from Albuquerque to Santa Fe every day. We took this one on Wednesday because it was free to Srs
