Albuquerque

Another day of staying put. Harris said he wants to stay in the sunshine and warmth as long as possible. Judy said, well, it doesn't get warm in Seattle until July. Harris said, so? let's stay until July!
Not!
Anyway. We went into the "Old Town" section of Albuquerque. It's full of old buildings with new shops, mostly touristy Southwest type things. There were also people on the sidewalks selling their wares.

This is the San Felipe de Neri church, built in 1793. It's right in the middle of the town square.

We're posing here beside a cannon in the town square. There are 2 replicas here, the real ones are in museums. There were something like 20 of these here during the Civil War, and they were buried to keep them from falling into Yankee hands. We didn't realize that there were any battles fought in this area.

There were groups playing music in several places, and selling their CD's.

This is a picture of "claret cup" cactus. This was taken outside the NM Museum of Natural History. We went there for a geocache. Then we decided to go back there after lunch. It was a great museum, full of all kinds of information, from dinosaur bones to the birth of the home computer.

We ended up going to an RV park we stayed at before...not that we remember it! (Enchanted Trails RV Park and Trading Post.) Last time we were here, we think we just pulled in long enough to sleep.
