Albuquerque

We made it to one of the more strangely spelled stops on our way home. We hit Old Town Albuquerque (a quaint part of town stuck in a bit of a time warp) a little before lunch, and stopped in the Visitors’ Center for some ideas of what to do while we were there. We had been planning on either the Rattlesnake Museum, the Atomic Museum, or both, but learned that the Atomic Museum had moved. They had other suggestions, but we decided on the Rattlesnake Museum,

and then lunch at La Hacienda, a local Mexican restaurant and souvenir shop.

By then, it was really time to hit the road again in order to make Texas before bedtime, but we stopped to take a picture in front of an old Catholic Church that seemed to have some Southwestern style.

and as we were packing the car up to go, we heard a Native American performing some ceremonial dance in the little square by the Visitors’ Center, so we went to have a peek.
