I found it rather difficult to find time to blog during our road trip, and on top of that I couldn't have posted pictures because I was an idiot who left my camera cable in SC. So, here's a lovely photo blog of what we did.
Western Louisiana on the way out West. VERY flat, but green.
Muenster, Texas. Yes, those doll things do move.
The house where my mom grew up.
Her street. I find it so strange that my mom grew up in the suburbs in the late 50s/60s. When you hear my dad's stories from the same time period, they were just getting indoor plumbing. It must have been a really strange transition for her.
Her street also now has a Buddhist Temple. Pretty, but unexpected.
The recreation of the falls in Wichita Falls. A flood wiped out the original falls.
The Texas panhandle.
Trevor with his new friend at the Albuquerque aquarium.
My amazing shrimp picture.
The Sandia Tramway. You go from the bottom to the top of the Sandias in about 15 minutes. It's lovely.
My mom and me on the mountain.
White Sands National Monument. These dunes actually had plants on them - to be contrasted with later pics.
Yucca and my shadow.
Dunes with no plants. It was like looking at the surface of some great white moon. Incredible.
My feet in New Mexico.
Trevor and I on top of the dune at sunset. My mom took this picture and the thing that looks like a lake is actually the top of my car. I love this picture.
