New Mexico Travel Photos

Take a ride on a Volvo through the desert and up to the mountains .. the Rocky Mountains....

Visit the Pueblo indians...the christianized indians....

Get picked up by old travel companion...we met in Capadocia, Turkey January 2000. Two months later, I spot Stephen in a cinema-queue (I guess TV-queue is more correct) in Dharamsala, India (home of Dalai Lama)...he had then been back home for a wedding and then went back on the road by flying into India...while I had travelled through Turkey, Iran and Pakistan .... amazing,hu?

We go to the allmightly Rio Grande and take our picture...

(Yes, I am sunburnt after snowboarding for a day in the mountains at high altitude without sunscreen)

(Hand broken at Norefjell ski resort in Norway, not in New Mexico).

 

 

The day after, we went hiking up to Wheel Peak at 4000 meters altitude. Strong winds ...great to feel alive.

Stephen is flying in the wind...

 

.

Freezing winds at 4000 meters altitude ...but I had Stephens high-tech gear....

Stephen back at the treeline... the frostbites goes away... burgers are waiting at 3000 meters...
