Albuquerque Expanded

Albuquerque’s Old Town was founded in 1706 and is full of historic adobe buildings. It’s very touristy, but in a good way. San Felipe de Neri Church is the oldest building in the city.

We wandered around old New Mexican shops, galleries, and cafes. So many great artists in New Mexico!  We ate good food smothered in green chile, loved the interesting plants we encountered, and admired the Sandia Mountains. Sandia means “watermelon” in Spanish, perhaps in reference to the hue the mountains take on at sunrise and sunset.
