Day 3: The guerrilla guide to Abq

Sunday was a crazy day, as we tried to fit in everything in Abq in a few hours. The cats hung out in the hotel until 12. You would've thought it was Disneyland for cats there. They had the best time playing in that hotel, particularly under the king sized bed. As you can see, they passed out on the way home.

We, on the other hand, woke up at the ass crack again, and headed out to find breakfast. Went to Old Town first and walked around a little and then decided to go into the museum to kill time until the restaurants opened. Strange that the museum was open earlier than the breakfast shops, but whatever.

Ate at a great little patio cafe. Green chile sauce was fantastic, as was the fry bread Edgy got. Even the water tasted good. Plus, the people in Abq (even at the grocery store) are fantastic. It's easier in this post to sum up Abq in the top ten things I love about Abq on the fast track. Here they are in no particular order:

1. Weather--breezy, no humidity, and warm!
2. Landscape--mountains, mesas, and cacti. I love cacti.
3. People
4. eggs and potatoes with green chile sauce and dark bitter coffee
5. petroglyphs
6. Trader Joe's!
7. the drive in on I-40
8. they have K-mart and Albertsons. I miss both.
9. walking. Everywhere you walk is fantastic
10. random sculptures and artwork

Ok, so they are weird top tens, but we only had about 6 hours on a Sunday when nothing was open. Whatd'ya want?

Sad to leave, but I vowed to go back when I had more time. Headed out to Amarillo.
