Day One in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Here are some shots from the day (they're all unedited so far - it's been way too long of a day for me to edit all these before showing them! I'll get to all of that when I come home!)

This is the front desk at our hotel

There were balloons like this hanging everywhere, blowing in the wind. They are really quite beautiful, and with the wind blowing all the time, they spin around in circles, which makes them look even cooler!

I'm not sure which one of these I like better. But the coolest thing about this place is that it's in the back of a store. They had a "Patio Garden" with a slated roof so the sunlight can come streaming in!

This is San Felipe de Neri Parish. It's Albuquerque's oldest Catholic Church Parish, and it's still used. In the heart of Old Town it really is something to see! And look at the blue sky! Not a cloud in sight!

A Self-Portrait. It was HOT! And I needed a break. Some of the places we went into were air conditioned, but alot of them were air conditioned very poorly, or not at all. So, after downing a whole bottle of water, I sat down to enjoy some of the scenery & festivities being held by San Felipe.

Plaza Don Luis. What a beautiful fountain & courtyard!

These are some of the street vendors. And yes, I did buy jewelry from some of them! They're rates are alot better than the shops, and they people who sell them are most likely the people who made them! Which I think is really cool.

The rest of these are just pretty pictures :) I hope you enjoy them!
