    Albuquerque

    February 6, 2016 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 3 °C

    Arrived in Albuquerque late tonight, all the restaurants around us were closed. So we ended up eating some of the stuff we brought with us. Why we were late is another story. There happens to be a lot of Indian Reservations along I-40, associated with each of those properties seems to be at least one casino. We stopped at three of them. We (Kim) ended up about $170 dollars after the three stops. So Kim's entertainment quota was filled for the day. The one cultural thing we did was stop at the meteor crater just off I-40. That was about two hours well spent. Not only for the experience but to get out and walk around some. Through the modern wonder video/photoshop, they reenacted the 150- ton meteor coming in at 26,000mph, at a 70 degree angle. Which leaves us a big hole in the ground and no to little meteor fragments surviving. (I'm surprised there was no casino there.)Read more
