Albuquerque, N.M. - Day 2

to Jesse High and Sherry Peacock in September

 

Today we drove to Old Town.  It was soooooooo neat.  You guys would love it.  It was a place where you park your car and get out and walk and walk and walk all through hundreds of shops and art galleries and restaurants. 

 

 

Then we drove up into the Sandia Mountains.  B-E-A-utiful!

 

 

 

Then we drove down a large part of Route 66.  Again, so neat.  So many little motor inns and shops and restaurants.  We drove through downtown Albuquerque which was very pretty. 

 

So today, we saw and experienced a lot of Albuquerque.  We need to return next year for their annual international balloon fiesta.  It's next week and we'll be gone by then.  It's the biggest thing happening in Albuquerque and the main thing that makes them famous.  There will be over 600 hot air balloons. 

 

Tonight, we pack up and tomorrow we head out to parts unknown.
