Travel Update: Albuquerque, New Mexico

We have now been "on the road again" in our RV for a little over one week. After a great homeschooling convention in St. Louis, Missouri, we are now stationed in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The trip thus far has been pretty uneventful, aside from driving through a dust storm with our awnings beginning to unroll, and having to get our generator's fuel pump replaced. :) Here are some pictures we took while driving through the beautiful...though very barren West!

New Mexico countryside! 

We literally "blew into Albuquerque"! :) It's ALWAYS windy out here apparently...but this was a little crazy, even for the locals! The picture above is the view through our windshield during the dust storm we drove through. Between the wind and the dust, our big awning began to unroll (after our smaller awnings were already tied down with ropes), so we pulled off and tried to fix it...along with all the other semi-drivers who were having problems. 

Anyway, we're here in New Mexico, half-way through our second convention in the RV. We don't have any conventions next week, so we're planning to do a little sightseeing in the area...I'll try to keep you updated.
