On top of Sandia

  Last Thursday, I was fortunate enough to head for Sandia Peak, on the Tramway, with Lydia, Monika and Gerda.  The Sandia Peak Tramway is an aerial tramway located adjacent to Albuquerque. It stretches from the northeast edge of the city to the crestline of the Sandia Mountains and has the world's third longest single span. It is the longest aerial tram in the United States.  It took about fifteen minutes to get to the top, which is over 10,000 feet.  There are two trams and they balance each other, so one is always on top while the other is at the bottom and they meet in the middle.

The ride up and down were absolutely beautiful.  We even saw a few pieces of wreckage from the TWA flight that crashed into the canyon decades ago.

The new Restaurant 10-3, was wonderful.  I enjoyed the best cuban sandwich ever and the general consensus was that the food was outstanding.

It was another day of learning more about this enchanted land we've joined.  Unfortunately, the pictures don't do it justice.  My camera battery was dead and I took these with my phone.

    In May, 2019, we fell in love with Albuquerque and the Land of Enchantment.  We moved into the house of our dreams and will share our misadventures with home ownership!

    ​We'll also share the beauty of this area as we get to know our adopted home.
