We are back (and baked - haha - it was 100 degrees on Wed, our last full day) from Albuquerque. Great time and visit with Aunt Margo and her stepdaughter and husband. Also Steve saw Aunt Patty in the lovely memory care facility where she lives. It is always a good experience to see how different it is in other parts of the USA as it certainly is in New Mexico. Funny thing - Ella who loves the huge and scary roller coaster rides, did not especially like the mountain experience! She didn't feel safe even looking at some of the taller ones and made her feel queasy! We saw the gigantic smoke plumes coming from the big forest fire in the mountains by Santa Fe and that was sad. Enjoyed lots of southwest style meals (washed down with some really good local wines!) and good sightseeing in and around Albuquerque and up to Santa Fe. But always thankful to return home safely with the girls!
