October is one of the best month’s to visit New Mexico. This year was particularly special with the Solar Eclipse crossing over parts of New Mexico with 100% viewing. Our son Josh who has a degree in Physics and Astronomy traveled to Albuquerque to see the event. We were concerned about the weather; the day started out with a few clouds but as they began to dissipate we had an unobstructed view of the sun and watched the Annular Solar Eclipse from start to finish lasting around 3 hours. Josh brought telescopes and solar eclipse glasses for us to wear. And Joe taped up our camera lens with an eclipse lens to take pictures. However, all the best photos were taken by Josh who knew how to take a photo through the telescope lens resulting in some amazing shots. Our sister in law Melody also spent time with us in October, however she had to fly home before the solar eclipse took place. But she enjoyed her first Balloon Fiesta, the Jemez Mountains, Valle Caldera and the Aspens in Santa Fe. For 2 weeks in October we enjoyed many adventures such as hiking our favorite places, eating the most amazing New Mexican food, watching hot air balloons fly every morning, experiencing the solar eclipse, plus a roadrunner and a coyote. It’s a magical time to be in New Mexico in October, I guess that’s why we are The Land of Enchantment!
