Cinco de Mayo in Albuquerque

I headed into Old Town Albuquerque before noon today and walked around a few of the shops and listened to the singers and musicians in the plaza.  After working up a hunger I stopped in a little restaurant across the street from the San Felipe Church and enjoyed a Chimichanga and glass of iced tea while sitting on their patio -- had a frozen margarita later when I got back to the RV park.

I will be heading out of here this coming Friday, the 10th, and decided to head directly to South Fork instead of stopping for another week somewhere in between here and there.  I'm ready to start catching some trout and get to hiking around the beautiful streams and lakes there.  It's too dry and windy down here and I know I could never stand to be here permanently for that reason and the haunting memories of that beautiful young woman I met here over 50 years ago.  Did see more than a few beautiful women here but, they certainly had no interest in me like that one had 50 years ago.

Yesterday afternoon, I sat out on the patio here with the twins and watched the contrails blow over head -- tried to guess where they were coming from or going to as they skipped by Albuquerque (like I will on any further trips through New Mexico).  Guess I am not Enchanted with the land of Enchantment (anymore).
