Many enjoy spending the day just hanging out at Quincy Market in Boston, Massachusetts either talking with old friends or just spending time together as a couple.
Seemingly when you think you leave a pigeon behind they seem to follow. Old Town had this beautiful pigeon who kept pecking at food, plants and flying around people who dodged them.
Under the pathway to where the trains travel is a tunnel with the old history of New Mexico. There are photos of New Mexico's first buildings as well as settlers of New Mexico.

A day at the local zoo in Albuquerque, New Mexico was the ticket for a great day of family fun. My families favorite animal exhibit was the beautiful Pink Flamingos.
The fountains are turned on at awkward times, like when you least expect it. It's great to walk around watching the bigger fountains except when the smaller one's turn on before your ready.

The glass skyscraper, clean streets, historical buildings, monumental horses and hearts, truly all an inspiration to all who visit Amarillo, Texas. So much to learn and so much to see, can't wait to someday return.
As we travel we often times find our solitude in attending church for prayers to keep us healthy during our journey. To be able to take in the many different sights is an incredible life and a great learning experience.
For every season there's a season of beauty. The colors of Spring are absolutely beautiful as the courtyards flourish with the glory of Spring in Amarillo, Texas.
Returning to New Mexico and being able to walk around, many new symbols as well as old are remained as icons for the meaning of community support, handshakes or friendships. These symbols listed all over downtown Albuquerque.

It doesn't seem to matter where you are at the time a beautiful sunrise or sunset may occur. In the afternoon, just taking a walk proves to have a colorful sky over the city of Albuquerque
In Amarillo. Texas, we learned that the Chamber Of Commerce was established around the early 1900's which became a leadership for economic improvement for the town of Amarillo.

This offers a similar but slightly different view from itβs more famous cousin, Tunnel View. Valley View offers views of El Capitan and Bridalveil Falls in the classic juxtaposition but Half Dome is not visible from this vantage point. However, instead of Half Dome, the lovely and serene Merced River graces the foreground between these two icons providing some beautiful texture to otherwise cold granite vistas. The view is particularly nice in fall when the grasses in the Merced River change color, in winter when the meadows are draped in snow, and early spring when Bridalveil Fall is at itβs peak.
