OK, I'm here and friends don't arrive till tomorrow. I'm checking out the wireless which seems to work great!
I flew Southwest and my plane came in from somewhere (??? - but people got off it) and then I got on and it stopped in El Paso (but I didn't have to get off), then continued on to Albuquerque, then on to Chicago, and then to Nashville. THAT plane had quite a workout today!  The leaves are changing here in Albuquerque - which is a treat for me being in Texas where the leaves just die of old age, turn brown and fall off in December! The Rio Grande river runs right through Albuquerque, north and south, and there are huge cottonwood trees lining both sides of the river banks. All those trees are bright yellow - it looked like a giant yellow road stripe from the air!!! Rats! I don't have my camera with me - I couldn't find the extra card and Gary was taking the card in the camera to have some pix developed - so no camera! But I'll try to take a few pix with my cell phone, if possible. They won't be very good though. Albuquerque is a wonderful city. I love the architecture, it is mostly adobe with lots of flat roofed homes. I just really love it here. Of course I love the Indian jewelry too - and hopefully, I'll have to time shop for some!!!

Oh, Gayle, wish we could be there with you. I love to visit that area, too, and do love the turquois and the copper jewelry. Bring some back for us, jk. My favorite city in NM to visit is Santa Fe. So unique!!

You went to Albuquerque by way of Chicago and Nashville? Wow!! You certainly had the scenic tour!!!!! I'm glad that you arrived all safe and sound. Too bad that you forgot your camera. Maybe you could get a disposable one and still get some picts. Have a good time!!!!

Hi Guys!
I've had a great time so far!!! I went over to a friends house last night and that was a lot of fun to see her - hadn't seen her for a couple of years. Then when I got back to my hotel room, a friend at the conference left me a message so I went to see her and also saw another friend. We agreed to meet for breakfast this morning and had a great visit. Then we went to Old Town in Albuquerque. It's a historical district where all the buildings are very very old flat roofed adobe. There are TONS of shops down there and we shopped till our feet couldn't go any longer. I bought Christmas gifts for my best friends and a couple of things for myself. I have SO MUCH turquoise and silver jewelry, and really don't need anything else, but I bought a bracelet and a small necklace/earrings. The friend I was with had all her jewelry stolen a few months ago, so I helped her buy a few pieces that were similar to the ones she before. We had a great time and she bought four really great pieces of wonderful jewelry. I also bought a couple of souviners - but don't plant to buy too much, as it is too close to Christmas to spend much money. Since I don't have my camera - I've attached some off the web 1. typical store in Old Town 2. Indian Market - the Indians have their jewelry for sale spread out on a blanket on the sidewalk around the square 3. church on the square
