Living in New Mexico

Well it's been a few years..  I have been in New Mexico a little over a year so it's time to share what a great place this is and it's hard deciding where to begin. Since moving here we joined several hiking groups. We have some really great friends and no I have not forgotten those I left behind. I miss and love you guys and I hope that you will come to visit really soon. I want to share this amazing place with all of you.

A few weekends ago we bought a book about city hiking and places to see in New Mexico. We did 11.5 miles that day. We did so much that I have to be picky about the pictures I post and what to tell you about.

We did some back alley art work looking.

As you can see someone lives here..








Now before I show more amazing art. Let me add in some history.
The next picture is of Zachary Castle. In 1976 Gertrude Zachary opened a jewelry business. She then began building her dream home in 2006. It cost 2-4 million dollars to build.

This is the famous Hotel Parq Central. In the 1920's this was built as a Children's psychiatric ward with a Grim past. It is said to be haunted.

No ghosts to be found but you can see the remnants of the psychiatric ward. We walked out to the roof top bar to take a peek of the city. We were with Robert, Vicki, Linda and Mary Anne.








I have never seen so many mosaics in one place as I did in city of Albuquerque. They lined the walls of the convention center.

Well now I leave you with a few other pictures. It's a unique city with lots of history.
