Sandia means watermelon on Spanish and here you can see why these mountains were named the Sandia Mountains. As the sun is setting the mountains look like a slice of watermelon.
Sorry I have not been posting for the last few days. The crazy weather finally got me and I was not feeling well. Hope everybody else is doing ok.
