Part 34 here
One of our little travelers didn’t feel well in the morning, so we decided to stay in the hotel for one more night, to let the kid rest well. By the way, we liked that hotel a lot. Unlike all the rest, it has colored bath towels and bedding sets, it brings us feelings of home. I didn’t realize how tired I am from the regular white towels 🙂
Las Vegas, New Mexico. One of the streets
This engine stays on the shortest railroad in the world. In 1956 it came here by rails and stays at it’s final destination.
The engine was built in 1902 and was used up to 1953
So while the kid stayed in the bed, dad went to Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument that is located in two hours of driving from Las Vegas. “Kasha-Katuwe” means “white cliffs” in the traditional Keresan language of the pueblo.
The cone-shaped tent rock formations are the products of volcanic eruptions that occured 6 to 7 million years ago and left pumice, ash and tuff deposits over 1,000 feet thick. Tremendous explosions from the Jemez volcanic field spewed pyroclasts. Over time wind and water cut into these deposits creating canyons and arroyos, scooping holes in the rock and contouring the ends of small, inward ravines into smooth semi-circles. Precariously perched on many of the tapering hoodoos are boulder caps that protect the softer pumice and tuff below. Some tents have lost their hard, resistant caprocks and are desintegrated.
Dad hiked 3 miles and made a lot of beautifil pictures.

When he came back to hotel, sick kid felt much better, so the next morning we will continue our journey.
