This was our Albuquerque day. We had arranged to drop Jax off at the dog boarding facility, meet Johnny and Shari at 9:30 for the day, and pick up Michelle at the airport at 5:00. After we met J&S we drove out to Petroglyph National Monument. We donned our sunscreen, sun hats and water bottles and took off down the trail. The ancient petroglyphs are really fascinating. Yes, I am still writing about them and excited to share them with Kay and J&S. It was a nice easy hike ( just over a mile) and no steep hills or rough walking. It was a beautiful morning and we all enjoyed it.
After the hike we went back to ABQ for lunch. With everyone feeling refreshed, we began walking around Old Town. It is a really picturesque little area and was not crowded this time. We took our time wandering in and out of the shops. I really enjoyed watching Pops and Shari discussing the artwork together. They are both so artsy and don't get to spend much time together. It was also interesting to watch Kay deal with a wacky shopkeeper who tried to charge her twice for some rings she wanted. She straightened them out, though. Finally the guys left to go get Michelle from the airport and we girls slipped into the restaurant to stake out our table for when they got back. We felt compelled to order a pitcher of margueritas while we waited. 😄
The guys finally returned and we ordered some delicious Mexican pizzas. It was soooo good to see Michelle again! Tired, but happy, we returned to Santa Fe. J&S and Michelle stopped in to see our new RV and then they went on to the mountain house. We saw another beautiful sunset! Good day!
