Hey hey USA - 24th October - an overlook and then off to Abiquiu
I had booked a small house in the hamlet of Barranca near Abiquiu to stay for a few nights. It is about 40 miles north of Bandelier so in the late afternoon we set off. But first, we had found out that there was a good view to be had of the Rio Grande gorge in a place called White City, which was nearly en route. The look out point was hard to find and involved tracing our way through some dull suburbs, but we were rewarded by the vista. The Rio Grande looked brown and sluggish and we could see snow on the furthest mountains. We made one more stop by the side of the highway as the light was so pretty. By the time we got to Abiquiu it was pitch black and we struggled to find the house, even with the help of a sat nav.
