Trip to Santa Fe

Day 31  Wednesday, March 1, 2023

Up early at 5:45 so that we could catch the 7:13 Road Runner to Albuquerque. It's about a 90 minute trip and on Wednesdays it's free for people 60+. It's actually really cheap on any day as the fare is only a few dollars.  We got to the Alvarado Transportation Center and then found the 66 bus to Old Town. The bus was free also. We found Old Town and stopped for tea and cromuffins. From there we walked to the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science. It was a really good museum which takes you through New Mexico's natural history, from the formation of the universe to present day. I think through grands would have loved all the dinosaurs.. We walked by the Albuquerque Museum and enjoyed the sculptures outside the museum. Window shopping in the Old Town was fun and we had to stop at the local church, San Felipe de Neri. This church is the oldest in ABQ and the oldest adobe building in the city also having been built in 1706. Lunch was at the Old Town Cafe and we stopped at Downshift Brewery for a beer before getting back on the bus and train. We arrived back in Santa Fe at 7:30. Another fun day in New Mexico.
