I have cousins that live in ABQ and I’ve been there to visit a few times over the last two years. The first time I went there (and the others though not as bad), I got really sick from the altitude.

Things I enjoyed:

-Multiple coffee shops aroung ABQ

-Downtown Albuquerque / The native american vendors, tourist shops though not too many of them, etc.

-The thrift store “Savers”

-Dion’s Pizza

-Driving at night along Tramway, overlooking the city, seeing the lights, etc.

Things I wish I would have done:

-Gone to the giant flea market

-Gone up Sandia Peak

-Done more shopping

I went to Gallup, NM early Nov ‘07 because my boyfriend, Eric moved there. He had only been there for about 5 days when I hopped a train from Topeka Kansas and went out to see him. It was funny because he didn’t even believe that I was really on the train until I got to Raton and called him.

Overall my trip to Gallup was pleasant even though I did get very sick for a few days. Eric had a motorcycle, so we went cruising around the town and country which was beautiful but often chilly. We visited McGaffey forest, went rock climbing at Mentmore, and visited some friends on one of the Indian reservations. One thing I wish I would have done was to have stopped and stayed at the El Rancho hotel, the hotel of the movie stars.
