Day 9.1 Open spaces

Long stretches of road with the background always mountains...as we pass one range to the next. There may be tumbleweed & cactus for 50 miles or so, then lava beds at the Valley of Fires, or, as in this picture, beautiful yellow flowers carpeting the Valley floor. And impressive clouds show up for this choreographed scenery.

Our hosts in Albuquerque are former Arlington, VA. residents, and they live in an incredibly picturesque area, where THE view from the living room, dining room, kitchen, and bedrooms is of the Rio Grand River! And the Sandia mountains and the "bosque" forest of trees along the Rio Grand for about 20 miles.
