Albuquerque, NM

We arrived in Albuquerque on the afternoon of April 28th. The wind had blowed so hard all day and into the night it was hard to sleep with the motor home shaking, but we managed to get a few winks in. The next morning we went to see the Acoma Pueblo. It was an ancient Indian reservation. They have no electricity and no indoor plumbing. They still live as their ancestors did hundreds of years ago. Here are some pictures of their houses. We were not allowed to take pictures inside the church or of the cemetery as these are sacred places. This is the outside of the church The scenery around the pueblo was beautiful. I kept picturing cowboys riding through. I guess I watch too many westerns!

On the way to Albuquerque, New Mexico

We left Amarillo on April 28th heading for Albuquerque, NM. I had picked up a brochure on a place on Rt. 66 called Midpoint Cafe and wanted to stop. It has been there in business since the "Mother Road's" heyday. The grill was closed for updating but we were able to have a piece of their famous "ugly crust pie". We had the chocolate peanut butter and man was it good! They named this place Midpoint Cafe because it is the exact amount of miles from here to Chicago and here to Los Angeles.
