Albuquerque, Where It All Began (and Ended)

Created June 23, 2001
Even our 8 days' trip started and ended at Albuquerque, we never gave too much time to this largest city in New Mexico. We drove to Santa Fe almost immediately after we landed at Albuquerque airport. While we stayed at ABQ for the last night, we didn't even wander around much until the next morning. There is also an old town center and Albuquerque and it does have the nostalgic atmosphere like Santa Fe's.

  • A shady old town square in Albuquerque's old town.
Arcade near the old town square
  • Those arcade is as nostalgic as those in Santa Fe, with flavor of Spanish and Pueblo Indian, a special mixed building style in the Southwest.
In the Old Town Square-
  • The trip was almost over. I think I must look a little sentimental...
