on the path…miles of miles

Herb and I came to a point where we were able to measure our visibility today driving through NM. 10 miles was the furthest we could see in one stretch.

We spent a lot of time in Alburquerque at the Pueblo Indian Cultural Center. A great place. Convicting though. It told how happy they were before the white man came to show them a better way to God and how to own land. Owning land to Indians was a wrench in their fundamental belief system. They beleived they belonged to the land. Not own it. So they held it in high regard with stewardship towards it.
Then we set up trading posts and missions.

You know the rest.

Our meal highlight was the resturaunt that served authentic Native American food. Two thumbs up for this place of which I forget the name.
Blue corn, cheese enchilladas with verde sauce. And Pisole. A Hominy soup with a red chile sauce. This dish was different but superb.

We left about 6pm. Herb was snapping photos of route66 signs all along the way. I’m going end up with rainman photos from this leg of the trip.

Nothing surreal today. I did see a terydactyl wrapped in christmas lights flapping its wings in front of the petrified forest. What a wacky land.

Thanks for checking in
