If any of you ever get a chance to go to Albuquerque, Mexico, I highly recommend you check out Sandia Peak. It has a two-mile long Tram Way which is really cool cause you get to overlook rocky mountains, boulders, cliffs, valleys, and beautiful views of the city from every direction. It’s breathtakingly gorgeous! At the top of the mountain is a diner called High Finance Restaurant, which (to be COMPLETELY honest - you all should know by now to expect nothing less) isn’t exactly one I’d recommend for their food. The view was spectacular, don’t get me wrong. But the food was pretty yucky. There were only two vegetarian options on the entree and one of them was drenched with vinegar (and not the delicious kind). We actually had to send back our food cause it was inedible. I think that was the first time I returned my food in at least a couple years just from it being too bad to eat. Usually I’ll deal with something undercooked or overcooked and not complain. Generally I’m not a complainer because no one likes someone who gripes all the time. So if I ever get food and it tastes bad, it takes a LOT for me to send it back. But THIS was just atrocious. One bite and I swear… it was like eating Pine Sol. I had to sent it back. Funny thing is… when I told the server about it, he actually laughed cause he said EVERYONE says the same thing. (Which, if you’re curious, was the “Portabello Stack.”) So this brings me to a brain fart. If everyone returns the same entree to the kitchen to be thrown away and no one likes it, WHY is it on the menu? It seems, at least to me, it’s not only bad business and seems like a huge waste of money, but also seems like it would lessen the chance for repeat customers who are disappointed with the food. *sigh*

One thing I *did* like about the restaurant, however, was the view. It was unmistakably breathtaking. The walls were made completely of glass and overlooked the whole city of Albuquerque. We, literally, were on top of the world! Hot! Here’s some photos from the Tram Way experience at Sandia Peak!

Here I am sitting at the table next to the extraordinary view.

Getting ready to get in the cable car to take us up the mountain!

Isn’t this a spectacular view of the city? And we weren’t even in a plane!

This was taken as we were traveling up the mountain within the cable car.

New Mexico is beautiful I love the adobe, the stucco, the architecture, and mmm the mountains!

There were SO many rocky cliffs and mountains as far as our eyes could see! Just had to share this photo!

Thanks for sharing this experience with me

Love
