These photos were taken with an iPhone 4 last evening in Petroglyph National Monument on Albuquerque’s West Mesa. That’s Jupiter in the bottom photo above the Lights of Albuquerque. Or possibly a dust speck on my monitor.

Today’s photo was taken Saturday at sunset at Delicate Arch, Arches National Park. Delicate Arch is Entrada sandstone. It’s 52 feet high. This vantage point is reached via 1½-mile trail with an elevation change of about 500 feet. There were approximately 200 people there Saturday, all with the courtesy to stay away from the arch during sunset (prime time for photographers). Six-, soon to be seven-, year-old Sofie made the trek with ease. Grandpa made the trek.

This excerpt is from a 1925 Rand McNally Arizona-New Mexico road map found online. The solid lines are paved roads, the dashes are improved roads, and the parallel lines “dirt” roads. Click image for larger version (1+ MB file).
Route 66 wasn’t established until 1926 (signs went up in 1927).

It was a delightfully cool day in Santa Fe Sunday (around 80) with sprinkles from time-to-time. A good day for walking around, seeing a site or too, and having lunch outside.
Across E. DeVargas Street from San Miguel Church is a building that is said to be the oldest house in the United States (circa 1646). How do we know this? Because it’s right next door to the Oldest House Shop, so it must be true.
Better yet, directly across Old Santa Fe Trail from San Miguel Church is this building, the Pink Adobe. (The woman on the bench resting has the right idea.)
Inside the Pink Adobe since 1944 is the Pink Adobe restaurant where, in the courtyard, we had some outrageously good chicken enchiladas with black beans and rice. The view from my place at the table.
