Albuquerque, New Mexico in July (part 1)

In July I traveled to Albuquerque to teach a class at the University of New Mexico. All of the participants were wonderful and I had an unbelievable amount of fun with my co-instructors (Eileen B. from University of New Mexico, Rob R. from Utah State University, and Darrell A. from University of Regina in Canada). We went out for dinner and drinks every night after class. We ate at Tucano's (a brazilian grill), Sushi King, the Route 66 Diner, and High Finance. To get to the restaurant called High Finance, we had to ride the Sandia Peak Tram. It was long and I won't lie, I got a little scared. I've posted some of the photos we took on the trip. While we were up on Sandia Peak, there was a rain storm down in Albuquerque. I think it looks really cool in the photos.
