Albuquerque/Santa Fe: New Mexico

Heading to Albuquerque! Stopped and got horseshoes at one of the huge major rest stops with a store.

When we got there Albuquerque we had lunch at the frontier restaurant and got their sweet roll they are famous for and delicious authentic breakfast burritos.

Coffee was great too! $16 for everything. Nuts! Super big place and usually long line and wait for food. Not busy when we were there. We were going to stick around and check out stuff but it got really windy and rainy real quick!

Saw the hotel from Breaking Bad. We were not about to harass the people that live in Walt's house from the show so it was cool to see this.

The weather was getting pretty rainy and windy so we headed on out to explore Santa Fe.

We went down to the railroad district and explored a bit. Decided to head out to a Starbucks then leave but we came across a really cool downtown shopping area by the st Francis of Asissi Church. I really wanted to find some Aztec rugs for our new place and we came across a store where a woman and her whole family actually hand weave them. We know that because some other people came in to shop who knew her and asked about how her daughter is doing and if she was working yet. So sweet!

We got two really pretty rugs and even though they were pricy we were happy to have a piece of culture and support a family at the same time. We headed out and on to Denver after that. Got to Habaneros Mexican food and got burritos at 9pm then headed out.

Got to Littleton that night at 10pm and hung out with friends downtown.
