Most of today was spent in and around Albuquerque. I visited the Santo Domingo Pueblo Reservation. It's hard to explain what a different way of life they have. Photographs or any other kinds of recordings are strictly prohibited on the reservation, so the only pictures I have are the ones in my head. The best I could do was the sign going into the reservation.
After that, I went to the Petroglyph National Monument. It's very unique to see these drawings on the rocks, considering some are 3,000 years old. Unfortunately, people (or should I say idiots?!) come out here and put graffiti on these ancient rocks. It's sometimes hard to tell what's real and what's not.
Personally, I think this one looks like a cross between Mr. Bill and Bart Simpson!
The rest of the day was spent walking around Old Town Albuquerque. Lots of shops with Indian jewelry and crafts - very nice area.
I don't know how these pretty flowers grow in this dirt!!
The weather became very ominous, so, not wanting to be struck by lightening, I left the Petroglyph National Monument.
This was a really nice shop and we loved the shop owner! He had cool stuff!
A pretty little stairwell.
Downtown Albuquerque was much bigger than I had expected. It was raining a little, so I didn't get to get out and see as much as I would have liked to. I love all the Route 66 signs.
Pretty rainbow.
