A stop in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Looks like we are finally heading East on our way home.  When driving along I-40, a few days in Albuquerque are required.  After taking a walking tour of the city and discovering that there are NO historical buildings (built out of adobe, the Rio Grande has dissolved them).  In addition to our tour of "old" town, we spent time at the Art Museum; very enjoyable.

For the night, we camped at Coronado County Park.  What a place, with a view out our front windshield of the Rio Grande River!  (And if the river floods, our motorhome won't melt like the old town buildings.)



On a recommendation, we checked out the Balloon Museum.  Albuquerque is the town of the world's largest hot air balloon festival, held every year in October.  We learned all there is to learn about the history and the current record setting balloon adventures.  On display were a number of these including the first crossing of the Atlantic by balloon. Pretty HOT !!
