September 29, 2005 Rain in the Desert
Late yesterday afternoon the wind got very high, we thought the tent might become airborne. The dark clouds starting rolling in, so instead of cooking supper we went out to eat. It started to pour rain, so we spent the evening in the tent reading by the lantern. The wind didn't go down until late evening; but it rained hard on and off all night. It was still raining this morning and looked like it was going to get worse, so we packed up and left for Albuquerque. Spent some time sightseeing and went up to the Sandia Mountain Tramway, we didn't take the tram up the mountain as it was so cloudy. Drove around looking at the architecture and the landscape of the area.
Arrived at the housesit, went for a walk with the dogs to get an idea of their commands and spent some time getting to know the people and dogs.
The balloon fiesta starts tomorrow, so that should be an amazing sight to see the main ascension in the AM.
