New Mexico is beautiful. The sky is so blue and so big and the buttes and plateaus in the distance are red and yellow and covered in desert bushes. I love the desert. We arrived in Albuquerque and checked into a hotel that Gordon's parents got for us. We needed that so badly. The hotel was so beautiful and staffed by such lovely people. There was also a rooftop bar with happy hour so we showered and put on something cute clothes and went up for a drink. Sunset was amazing but we were hungry so we headed out to a recommended restaurant for dinner. We treated ourselves in Albuquerque, but it was necessary. We made some friends with some locals, had a few drinks and called it a night.
The thought of leaving that amazing hotel was a little rough, so we got late checkout on Sunday and rearranged some things. When we left Chicago it was snowy and freezing and we had dressed and packed accordingly. Now in New Mexico the sun was shining bright and hot.
On Sunday we went to old town on the hunt for turquoise jewelry. We found a nice shop with a huge variety and reasonable prices. Elisa and I love stones so much it was a little overwhelming. This store had case after case of rotating shelves packed with turquoise and opals and tigers eye and so much more. I was in heaven.
We got our goods, got some lunch and got out of town. Next stop Flagstaff, A.Z.
LOVE.
