Another super day in New Mexico. Started out at the Science Museum about the invention of the atom bomb during WWII and the beginning of Los Alamos. Nice museum - Los Alamos didn't exist until the scientists were brought here to work on the bomb. After that, we proceeded to Bandelier National Park and the highlight of the trip for Cindy so far. I hiked up to the cliff dwelling ruins inhabited by Indians over 400 years ago. It was pretty cool and I was glad I could do it. There is was only similarity between New Mexico and Michigan - the Indian casinos. There are a ton of them here (we haven't gone to any). Tonight we are staying in Santa Fe. We are going to head down to the historic plaza soon and look for some more Mexican food for supper.

Comments from Eldon: I was never aware of this, but apparently Pueblo Indians used porta-potties for their crapper. New Mexico is truly amazing. The mountains are beautiful, but the altitude is a bit of a problem.

Comments from Larry: I spent an enjoyable, quiet afternoon with Eldon reading in the mountains.
