Albuquerque....high altitude, dry, clear skies, great views. We had a chance to see a good friend Mark, an artist who moved here from Minnesota three years ago. Enjoyed lunch with him at Mary & Titos Cafe and then visited his studio.

We also had an opportunity to see a show of Mark's work at a local gallery.

Here are pictures we took in Albuquerque's "Old Town" area.

San Felipe de Neri

Several of our friends had recommended that we see the Acoma Pueblo at Sky City.  We spent several hours touring the Pueblo located on a mesa west of Albuquerque.

We traveled by bus to the top of the Mesa. A small community of approximately 50 families live on the Mesa full time.  Some work in the surrounding communities during the day and return to the Mesa at the end of the day.
