View over Rio Grande from Overlook Park in White Rock.I arrived at Henrik, Jae, and Athina's house at 3am yesterday morning since there were problems with the flight control system near Chicago so the number of airplanes in the air had to be limited. The flight to Albuquerque was delayed about four hours. In Albuquerque I picked up my rental car and drove north towards Los Alamos. By this time I had been traveling more than 24 hours but turning up the volume of the radio helped to keep me awake. I crashed on a futon in H, J, & A's house since I arrived so late (or early depending on the way you see it).
In the morning I had to go to do a drug test so I could be hired on Monday. Later I met Henrik for lunch at Lemongrass - a thai restaurant. He gave me the key to Athina's old apartment which I would rent to start with. They left a tv, some kitchenware, a bed, an armchair, and a dinner table with chairs. It was nice to have some furniture and stuff in the apartment from the start.
Today I have been exploring the surroundings around Los Alamos. The first stop was the Overlook park in White Rock, where you have a nice view over the Rio Grande and its canyon. I continued on NM-4 and passed Bandelier National Monument and then headed up into the Jemez mountains. There where many nice views along the way. Valles Caldera is very impressive with its grassy meadows. I turned around down by Jemez Springs and the red coloured mountains down there are really beautiful. On the way home I stopped by the Caldera again to look at the sunset.

Valles Caldera which is a dormant collapsed vulcano.
