The Albuquerque Museum of Art and History has a fun exhibit called Dreamscape Desperado Billy the Kid and the Outlaw in America.  Covering the known history of the Kid's short life, there is also a large and wonderful collection of the related marketing and media products that spawned from and perpetuated his legend.  Items from the room where he was allegedly killed, along with the gun that fired the fatal shots, are ...

New Mexican food is one of the best reasons to come to Albuquerque. We have the best chile in the world. A place I to go to is El Camino Restaurant. It is a small dining room that has some of the best red and green chile sauce. I like it because it is not too hot, yet it still has flavor. The restuarant is at 6800 4th Street NW. ...

There is a culinary gem tucked away in Rio Rancho called the Pasta Cafe Italian Grill. The Pasta Cafe Italian Grill. The staff is exceptional. The bar tender at their full service bar will give you a wine tasting to find the perfect wine for your palate. When you are seated, a basket of fresh bread with a bowl of seasoned olive oil for dipping is brought to the table ...

The easy to access trail makes it very popular with people of all ages. The ...

Albuquerque has a number of wonderful restaurants, and Gold Street Caffe is one of them.  Enjoy the downtown ambiance while seated outside, or cool off inside if the sun is a bit much. Gold Street serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with an extensive list of espresso and coffee drinks. Refreshing Italian sodas are also available - just the thing on a hot summer day.

My favorite time to eat at Gold Street is ...

Forget the rabbits with horns (yes, they have them), check out the nifty furniture, rugs, fountains, folk art, clothing, pottery, and more (much more).  It boggles the mind to think of how they pack all of this stuff into one place.  This is shopping as it was meant to be - fun. 

The Albuquerque Jackalope is filled with unusual souvenirs and goodies from all around the world.  Strange and wonderful sights ...

There is so much to do in Albuquerque. Last night, I watched the sun glow on the Sandia Mountains from the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho. The facility seats about 5000, or so, and the Scorpions play there. It has a comfortable elevator and VIP lounges.
It is like a miniature Tingley Coliseum, which seats 12,000.
It has a traffic control system that seems to utilize ...

Think the Sandia Mountains look beautiful from the bottom?  Try looking at them as you ride the world's longest aerial tramway to the top of 10,378 foot Sandia Peak.  Once on top, go for a hike and then enjoy the views from High Finance restaurant with a drink or meal.  The Four Seasons Visitors Center is also atop Sandia Peak, and from May - November it is open and staffed ...

Every weekend except during the New Mexico State Fair in September, Expo New Mexico plays host to the state's oldest and largest outdoor flea market.  Wonderful treasures including jewelry, clothing, books, furniture, and knick-knacks galore, fill 25 acres of space.
