First let me mention that after leaving the Oscuro Hostel, I had planned on going to the Route 66 Hostel in Albuquerque. Well, I made it there, but it was a little too crowded for me. It wasn't overcrowded, just a little more crowded than I prefer. The manager was very good about it. He gave me a refund and told me about the Sandia Hostel located in the mountains not far from there. Now that sounded more like my kind of place. A little while later I was sitting on one on the big bunk beds in front of an huge open window at the Sandia Mountain Hostel. |

Left: Resident burros: Chiquita & Matilda. The manager warned me to keep my car windows closed because the burros like to reach inside and drag out anything they can. |
Ahhh.. A breath of fresh air! |
Sandia Hostel was extremely clean and neat. Bathrooms were large and spotless. The owners were friendly. I ended up returning to the Sandia Hostel during my second road trip the following year. |
