New Mexico was an educational experience! We actually used our geographical terms; plateau, butte, and canyon. We saw science class come to life with herds of wild antelope, wind turbines and a sand storm.
Social Studies made an appearance in the form of trains...we saw more trains in a few short hours, than I believe I have seen in all my life. We got the conductor of one hauling tanks for the Army to blow his whistle for us! It was amazing to see how much we rely on these huge iron beasts for the things our country needs.
With 200 miles to go...
Colorado was not quite what we expected. The mountain views as we crested the hill coming into the state were breathtaking and everything you would imagine Colorado to be. When you think of Colorado you think green forests, huge mountains and a Kodak moment at every turn, the road into Denver turned flat and brown quite quickly. The Mile High City was a welcome sight with a mall that warmed this shopper's soul but unfortunately did not have the credit cards smoking as well....but tomorrow is another day! :)
