USA - Day 69 - Albuquerque Driving Around and Parks

We started off looking for a UPS that was open on a Sunday (have some stuff to send back to OZ that we don't need for the rest of the trip). No luck so will try again in the morning. From here we drove to the Rio Grande Nature Center then continued on through the Rio Rancho area where there were some lovely properties; lots had fancy statues out the front too. Next a walk through a park near the Rio Grande river with great views of the Sandia mountains. We then drove across the river and next on the agenda is a drive through the Los Ranchos, Corrales area.

Searching for a post office on a Sunday; Sandia Mountains ahead.

First UPS was closed; next one was open for self service only but didn't suit our needs; FedEx was open for business but too expensive; will try UPS tomorrow morning before we leave Albuquerque.
