Three days of driving and we made it to Albuquerque last night. Yesterday we drove a marathon 12 hours. Or rather, I drove. Olivia has been a great co-pilot but for some reason they just won't let 12 year olds drive. On our second day we stopped off at Maramec Caverns. It really is beautiful. In fact I wish they would just turn the lights on and let you look. Way too touristy and cheesy including a "light show" where you could hear the guide flipping the switches at the back of the room. I think that was to add his special touch to the programed light show. What a way to treat a spectacular natural form.
Last night we stayed at a friends house north of Albuquerque. Absolutely beautiful. The moon rose over the small mountain and was just gorgeous. If I hadn't been so exhausted I would have sat out and enjoyed it.
Today we head to the residency. Time to settle in and start making some drawings.
