3rd day

We woke to drizzle and 33 degree weather. After another breakfast at Denny's we hit I-25 and headed to Albuquerque. It stayed around 35 deg. For over an hour and then slowly worked up to the 40s. Finally just south of Santa Fe the clouds broke and it jumped up to the 60s. We then turned off the highway and drove to Tent Rocks Nat. Monument and saw some unique formations caused by erosion. After seeing this we finished our trip to Albuquerque and arrived at our cousin Bill Green's house. Bill took us to dinner at El Pinto's a huge New Mexican restaurant. We spent the evening in good conversation covering firearms, politics and energy issues.
