Albuquerque

Day 2 of our trip was slightly more exciting than our first. We drove down to Albuquerque so that I could visit the Center for Southwest Research at the University of New Mexico. I found the information that I needed to collect, made copies, and decided to postpone (procrastinate) my research until a later day. While I was working in the archives Ivy went to the Sandia Pueblo reservation and rode the world's longest tram. The tram takes the passengers up the Sandia Peak and you can see both Albuquerque and Santa Fe. The reason that it is called Sandia Peak is because at sunset the peak glows red and looks like a watermelon (Sandia is Spanish for watermelon). We then went to the zoo in Albuquerque, it wasn't great, but it was still bigger than Logan's. It probably would have been better if the wind wasn't blowing so much. For dinner we stopped at Harry's Roadhouse just outside of Santa Fe. It is a great place to eat, great food and a great atmosphere.
