Greetings from the Land of Enchantment!

Well I am here in Albuquerque after 9.5 straight hours of driving. Needless to say I feel like I have been hit by a bus.... but all in all it was a good drive. There is not a whole lot going on in west Texas.... just a lot of flat grassland with not a tree in sight. It was weird though, because about 20 minutes before the New Mexico border there was this strange shift in the landscape, and the prairie gave way to desert scrub and sprawling mesas.... it was so sudden. I couldn't help but break out in an uncontrollable grin...after 5 hours of nothing but pasture, finally something different to look at! Here are some not-so-exciting pics:















Tomorrow's agenda includes a jaunt at Petrified Forest National Park and then off to the Grand Canyon... for a rock geek like me, this is heaven!
