Old Town After the Dentist

Old Town here we come – after the dentist. Tommy’s tooth broke and we went over to the hospital’s Dental Clinic at Kirtland AFB. They were so gracious to see him for an evaluation and has a full appointment at 7:30 am tomorrow. Thank you.

We drove to Old Town Albuquerque to see the shops with pottery, paintings, jewelry, and more. Listened to Amauta, a group of musicians who play Panflutes, Andean flutes, guitar, and rain sticks. The music in magical and so calming. image

Hooptie, along with her owners, visited the oldest church in Albuquerque, San Felipe de Neri. The church dates back to 1706.

A relaxing late lunch at the Church Street Cafe image

was a delicious end to a charming day in Old Town.





While waiting for Tommy at the dentist this morning I was able to do laundry and met several really nice people. One of them is Sherlee who lived here in Albuquerque for years. She and her husband, Don, were kind enough to come over this evening to the RV and give us pointers for a day trip for tomorrow to see some of prettiest country around Albuquerque and Sante Fe. Sherlee and Don now live outside of Seattle and gave us tips on what to see there as well. We just may meet up with them when we get there.

Our neighbor in the RV park is Roger, an officer in the Alaska Air National Guard, brought his computer and maps over tonight to give us the low down on where to go, routes to take or avoid, and things to watch out for in and on the way to Alaska. He has made this trip 6 times! He gave us a very thorough briefing! Thanks Roger.

  1. That church is beautiful. That stinks that Tommy had to get a tooth fixed on vaca, should have taken your personal dental assistant w/ you, lol. But that is awesome that you are making friends on your trip. Can't wait to see what's next :-)
