Left cabin around 7:30. First stop was the Rio Grande Bridge in Taos. Wanted to get daylight pics. It was soooooo cold but worth the drive. Headed for Santa Fe.....Bobby wanted to buy my birthday gift.....necklace. We had meant to purchase on Wed when we were in Santa Fe.
Left Santa Fe and headed to Acoma to take the Sky City Tour. Got there around 12:30, watched the movie, looked thru and museum and wasted time wating for our tour at 1:15. Tour takes about 2 hrs, that's if you walk down from the mesa, which we did. This is a place that everyone should see. It costs $20 a person (seniors $17). They did not charge us for our camera, usually it $10 extra but so worth the price. You have to ask permission to take pics of individuals, pottery and you can't take pics of the cemetary or inside the church.
Once we left Acoma, we head to exit 81 on freeway where we turned to take hwy 53 back to Gallup. We did not see as much as we'd like due to darkness setting in. Another reason for us to return to this area. Along this stretch you see El Malpais &, El Morro National Monuments, Ice/Volcano Park and Zuni Pueblo. We did however see a beautiful sunset. We arrived in Gallup around 6:00, headed to the local movie theater, as we decided to see the new Harry Porter movie. Got tickets for the 6:40 showing. Went to Lotaburger, grabbed a burger and head back to movies. We'll head out on our last leg towards home tomorrow
