Sante Fe Pics


Sky City. Amazing little Indian settlement (peublo) on top of this mesa. It's bigger than it looks here. Been there for thousands of years apparently.

We stumbled across a Indian ceremony taking place which was fantastic - but we weren't allowed to take any photos which was a pity.







Funny parking meter system in Albuquerque. You either put coins in the slot or stuff notes into it with a little 'stuffer' that hangs on the side. They come around and open the back up a couple of times a day and if your little box hasn't got $2 in it your done.

I cant think of any songs about Albuquerque.













Later that day we caught the 'tram' (pictured at the top) up the local mountain. I was still dressed in my shorts and shirt. How was I to know the local mountain was 11500 ft above sea level (Kosciuszko is 7500 ft).

Nearly froze a few things off.

I now own a very warm New Mexico windcheater. The gift shop was doing a roaring trade in them.
