If the tiring morning at the Fiesta wasn't enough, we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and take a ride up the Sandia Tramway. There was a long wait, because of all the people in town for Fiesta, but the ride up and the scenery at the top was worth it.
You can see for many miles past Albuquerque and to the e
ast -- very cool. Katie LOVED the tram, and wanted to just ride up and down!Unfortunately, the winds picked up while we were at the top, and we weren't entirely sure we were going to be able to ride back down (they have emergency non-tram measures in place if necessary, so we could have gotten off the mountain). But we did, eventually, just after more waiting.
To top off the day, I went with my dad to see the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra and Chorus (Cynthia sings soprano with them) perform Mendelssohn's "Elijah". Wonderful music and great story, of course. I was glad to go.
