ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO

Mon.  May 20, 2013 and we have made it to Albuquerque.  Pulled in late due to really lousy directions on Mapquest.  Great rv park, nice site and the best water pressure we have ever had.

Tues.  Went food shopping at Albertsons, finally found frozen bagels, then look around  Camping World and Joel got a 7 ft. ladder which folds into about 4 inches square, fits nicely under the bay.  I got a new folding chair, aluminum, the backrest reclines, I love it.  We renewed our Good Sam membership and got $25 off our bill, now that is wonderful.  We took a look at some of their motorhomes and we like ours better, but the salesman Chuck, a real nice guy, into lots of things, real estate, insurance, call centers, etc.  asked Joel what he does for a living, and the next thing you know Chuck will be one of our agents.  He has lots of potential.  On the way back to the campground we stopped at Freightliner and found out they can help us with the freeplay in our steering, so we are going there on Fri. morning when we leave here. 

Wed.  We went to the zoo.  What a wonderful place, had such a good time, then we went to Old Town which is an original village from so many years ago and we had lunch at the Cafe de Fiesta, and then looked around at all the art galleries and shops.  We bought two t shirts, and then started back to the rig.  Peanut and the birds were glad to see us.

Thurs.  Today we went to the Aerial Tram on Scandia Mountain.  We rode it to the top (awesome ride)  see the photos, temperature below, 95 degrees, on top of mtn. 51 degrees and sunny, what a beautiful place, highly recommend New Mexico, so much to do in a very close area.  Then we went to a sort of healthy Cafe called "Vinegarette" and had salads and sandwiches, wonderful service and food.  Then off to the Museum of Natural History, lots of dinosaurs, and a complete Titantic exhibit, photos werent allowed.  When you go in they give you a boarding pass of someone on the ship and at the end of the exhibit you find out if they survived.  Both of us got passengers that survived, that was uplifting.  Well, back to the rig, Joel is napping while I do the blog.  Tonight we will go to a wonderful chinese buffet called "Hong Kong".
