Tuesday (5/19)  Still in Albuquerque for the day.  We went to the Petroglyph National Monument to see dozens of petroglyphs in the Rinconada Canyon (see picture.)    It is about a mile walk into the canyon and is well worth the trip.  The some of the drawings of animals, people, brands and crosses on the rocks have been there since prehistoric times.

We spent the afternoon riding around Old Albuquerque taking in the beautiful adobe style homes and buildings (see picture,) stopped at a winery which was very Tuscan - so quaint and put our hands in the water of the Rio Grande.   

Albuquerque is such a beautiful place nestled in the valley with all those mountains to look at.
