Morning finds us leaving Albuquerque and crossing the Rio Grande. Today we made a side trip to Acoma Pueblo ("sky city"). This was one of the many, many highlights of my journey. On this day we also cross the Continental Divide. After a full day of sights we settle in at the El Rancho Hotel in Gallup, New Mexico. I'm beginning to think I will never make it out of this state! Not complaining, just don't have enough time to spend here. El Rancho is an old historic hotel where all the movie stars stayed while filming the western movies nearby. A very good night sleep was waiting for me here. Be sure to see the pictures of Acoma Pueblo that can be found with the other New Mexico pictures here.
"Open -road travelers are made more than born. They are as different from theme-park tourists as anything you can imagine. Tourists rush; travelers mosey. Tourists look for souvenirs; travelers seek out the souvenir makers. Tourists want to see all the right places; travelers simply go into the country. Travelers are openly romantic about the going itself, the adventurous possibility of it all."
