Når vi var på vei tilbake til Albuquerque, stoppet vi innom en plass kalt The very Large Array. Det er et stort platå oppå et fjell, der de har satt opp 27 store disker, og hvor de lytter etter the big bang:) det var og her de filmet filmen "Contact", med Jodie Foster.

Det er virkelig stor og flatt der oppe:)
It really is big and flat up there:)

White Sands
Snø i New Mexico? Nei vi tok turen sør i staten, for å besøke gipsdynene White Sands. En utrolig flott opplevelse.
Snow in New Mexico? No, we took a trip down south in the state to visit the gypsom dunes of White Sands. An incredible experience.
Det ser ut som snø, men det var utrolig varmt og deilig:)
It looks like snow, but it was very warm:)
Spor i "snøen":)
Prints in the "snow":)
Vi fikk se en flott solnedgang mellom gipsdynene. Det ble jammen fort kaldt etter at solen forsvant:)
We saw a beautiful sunset on the dunes. It got colder quickly after the sun disappeared:)
Vel inne i bilen etter en flott tur, og en nydelig solnedgang:)
back in the car after a great outing, and a beautiful sunset:)

Grand Canyon
Dette er noen bilder fra Grand Canyon. Jeg har vært her en gang før, men da på nordsiden. Denne gangen var vi på sørsiden, og den kan virkelig anbefales. En utrolig flott plass, og milevis med løyper du kan gå, helt på kanten av stupet:) Vi hadde og et kjempeflott vær, så vi kunne se milevis utover denne flotte dalen.
These are some pictures from The Grand Canyon. I have been here once before, but on the North Rom. This time we went to the South Rim, and I can really reccomend it. A very nice place, and miles of trails to walk right on the edge of the canyon:) We had an amazing weather, so we could see for miles around.

The Meteor Crater
Da vi var på vei til Grand Canyon, stoppet vi for å se på et svært meteorkrater. Dette er i Arizona.
When we were on our way to the Grand Canyon, we stopped to look at a huge meteor crater, in Arizona.
Astronauter brukte å trene nede i hullet, for å simulere hvordan det ville være på månen:)
Astronauts used to train down in the crater, to simulate how it would be like on the moon:)
Det var utrolig varmt her, selv såpass sent på året:)
It was really warm here, even this late in the year:)
