Introduction

From Utah, we drove to New Mexico to visit some friends and visit a few places. Fern has spent time here before, but it was Joseph's first visit.

It is known for Adobe-style buildings and art, as well as being the home of the Manhatten Project, the World War 2-era project to build the first nuclear bombs. There is an Atomic Museum, and the popular minor league baseball team is called the Isotopes (or 'Topes, for short.)
