Friday, May 4, 2018.   We are spending a few days in Albuquerque, NM. We have been here several times and really enjoy Old Town. It is similar to Santa Fe’s Plaza. There are quaint little shops and restaurants around the square with the focal point being the beautiful San Felipe de Neri Catholic Church. A little girl standing beside us said, “Look, it’s Jesus’ castle”. So cute!  One of the galleries in Old Town that we really like is the RC Gorman Gallery. I love his work. This time we gave in and bought one of his prints. I know that we don’t have any more room for more artwork, but this is special 😄. We also bought a small Storyteller figurine. These storytellers were first made by Helen Cordero in the Cochiti Pueblo in New Mexico. They are meant to honor the tribal storytellers that shared the culture of the tribe with the children.  These figures are always shown with their mouth open (singing mother) and surrounded by children.  Finally, we finished the morning with lunch at the Back Street Grill. We love their Mexican pizza and Slice of Hefen beer. Tomorrow we are going back to the Petroglyphs National Monument (we have been there several times)and will try a different trail. Life is good!
