2017 10 28 Old Town Albuquerque and a nice dinner.

Friday, October 27, 2017

Met Marilyn and Jerry Cap for dinner on Friday after driving to Albuquerque from Santa Fe. Caught up with them and enjoyed the first really good pizza since we left Dublin, Ohio. Don't know why we didn't think to get a photo of all of us while we were waiting for our table at Pizzeria Luca. We will do better next time.
Saturday, October 28, 2017 Bob and I went to Old Town which was founded in 1706.

This building is in chiles hanging from the eaves. We still don't have any but they will even make a wreath out of them for Christmas. 

The Church in the middle with the Convent on the left and the rectory on the right.  

The amount of silver and turquoise jewelry was overwhelming but I did get Bob a bolo tie. I managed to restrain myself by repeating "I have enough turquoise jewelry." But really? Can one ever have enough?

San Felipe de Neri Church. Still active and, in fact, a wedding was just letting out when we walked over to it. 

Much simpler than the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe. But still beautiful in its simplicity. 

After purchasing a new wool rug woven by the Zapotec Indians of Mexico, who live in a tiny city between Guatemala and Mexico City.  


Met Eliza (Norm Linde's daughter), husband Donald and his daughter, Emma for dinner at Flying Star. Interesting name and concept. Menu items are made fresh and are very eclectic. From breakfast Huevos Rancheros to burgers and mac and cheese with broccoli. They also have freshly made pies, extra large cookies (triple ginger), breakfast sweet breads and cakes.

Bob, Emma, Eliza and Donald.
