We live in the city limits of ABQ. Our street is not too busy, but it clearly feels like a city. But thankfully, we live right near the only water in the area - the Rio Grande. It means big river in Spanish. Having seen the Missouri, Mississippi and Susquehanna rivers just to name a few, I was expecting a BIG river.
I was a bit surprised when I first saw the Rio Grande. As you can see in the background, in a few spots, it's more like a big creek.
But in other places it gets pretty grande.
I have yet to go jogging here, but Sandy and her parents walked on this trail right near our house that goes right along the Rio Grande. I think the trail is pretty extensive. I foresee saw marathon training happening here eventually.
I really appreciate being able to see the Sandia Mountains almost everywhere you go in ABQ. Our elevation is about 5,000 feet and the mountains go up to 10,000 or so. I eat breakfast every morning and see them when I look out our window. What a beautiful testimony to the majesty and greatness of God.
