Albuquerque was lots of fun. The town itself isn't that exciting, but the surrounding landscape is very impressive. We hired a car and drove around visiting extinct volcanoes surrounded by huge craggy lava flows full of caves, we saw a soda dam which is a great big rock formation made out of calcium carbonate bubbling up out of a natural spring, and we also saw a lot of the native american sites that are dotted around this area. The landscape is really impressive, some of it is rocky and dessert-like, some is full of pine forests, and all of it is almost completely deserted.
