And we begin… (day 3)
Right now we’re heading through New Mexico towards Albuquerque and finally the desert has turned a little green. For some reason it kind of reminds me of New England, which doesn’t make any sense… I think it’s more like Africa. Its pretty much vast open tan, yellow, and green, bolstered at its corners by silhouettes of mountains, which I think in other light would be red. The sky is the biggest I’ve seen, and the clouds, I don’t really understand how they stay afloat. They look heavy, solid and impenetrable. It keeps getting greener. There are trees! Forests of trees! In the desert! Real trees not some bullshit, like joshua trees or some other impotent perennial woody excuse for a tree normally found in the desert.
