monday

Yesterday I was unable to post. We got a room in this little town called ruidoso. Cool little town, cheap hotel. But their internet did not work.
We started out at White Sands national monument. This is a huge area of white sand desert.
It is where a lot of missile testing is done. It is near where the first atomic bomb was blown up. That wasnt open.
We went on some other drives into the mountains.
What was interesting to me was that within 30 miles we went from desert sand to mountains full of trees and streams. New Mexico certainly has a wide variety of landscapes.
