Day 6

Ahhh, waken up to a view like this. Mmmmm. What a treat. A view from the hotel window.

Well, after I was mesmerized by that, we got the day started. After breakfast and other miscellaneous things, our first stop for the day was White Sands National Monument. Just look at how that sand ripples.

As the dune moves, each dune move abruptly.

Go ahead - hold your breath a little longer. We'll come back to this. In the mean time, how about a view of the city of Alamogordo.

This taken from the parking lot of the New Mexico Museum of Space History. Our next stop for the day. Turns out it was really hot and really bright on the sand dunes. Luckily, since we'd planned on staying in the city for a day or two, that meant we could go back . . .
For obvious reasons unknown to me, rocket technology seemed to be the theme at this museum.
Uooooooo, those pipes are sexy! Just look at the complexity.

And of course, man made satellites were discussed.

Now, back to our original starting point. White Sands! After supper and a trip to the motel, we went back for a guided nature walk, by staff non the less. Pretty interesting discussion, but nothing really new. That is if you bothered to read the stuff in the visitors center. If not, then this walk was chuck full of information.

The only real excitement was the tour guide (pretty hot!), and the unexpected sunset. WOW !!!
