Albuquerque by Day

*Old Town Albuquerque – they sure know how to do sunsets in New Mexico*

Albuquerque. Or ABQ as the cool kids call it. It’s a bit scruffy around the edges. Takes a little while to settle into it but then you find yourself immersed by this cool southwest vibe which reminds me of Phoenix, Arizona back in the 40’s. How do I know what Phoenix felt like in the 1940s? I don’t. Just seemed like the thing to write.

*Route 66 cuts through ABQ like butter. Too much? Sorry. Anyways there are a lot of cool neon signs scattered about.*

*Maybe this is the car wash from Breaking Bad. Probably not, but it could be.*

*The Breaking Bad Store ABQ in Old Town is much cooler than it should be. Has lots of fun* paraphernalia from the show.

What we did for our one full day in ABQ was walk from our Airbnb in Old Town to the ABQ BioPark down to the river and then back to the Airbnb for a soak in the hot tub. Later Corey discovered our hostess was Swedish/Norwegian and they talked for almost an hour. Being a tourist is a lot more fun than being at work.
