Chapter 11: Albuquerque, NM - 
Want to see a bit of nature and get that south western cultural experience? Albuquerque, NM might just be the spot for you. With beautiful dessert, hiking trails, The Hot Air Balloon International Festival to great Native American cultural experience ABQ was a nice stop over for me picking up my brother from his first year in college in May 2008. Eventually that trip turned into overnight train ride back to good ole Cali!
