Albakerkee

Coming from the west on I-40, the city surprises you. You come over the hill and BOOM! There it is, all spread out for miles in every way. Snuggled in the arms of the mountains, it practically takes the breath away. The only comparable sight is the first glimpse of Salt Lake City. Again, you come around a bend or over a rise, and THERE it is. Anyway, that's where we are tonight. New Mexico, not Utah. And this is the place that I watched George Strait receive the "Entertainer of the Decade" award, so it's a special place. (And I never took Spanish, so the spelling "Albequerque" doesn't make much sense to me.)
