San Felipe de Neri Church

Dazzling turquoise jewellery
So many trinkets, so little time. We arrived fine in Albuquerque yesterday afternoon, after just the normal fuss and fatigue of air travel and car rental.
We spent last night at a Best Western near Old Town and ate Mexican food on the Plaza, followed by the best peach ice cream ever. A band was playing on the Plaza, and it felt very southwestern and laid back. To add to the atmosphere, a lovely girl was posing in front of the church.

The weather is warm and stormy, with beautiful, violent-looking clouds randomly dumping monsoon rain. The forecast looks a little calmer today.
Today we drive to Santa Fe, about 60 miles north of Albuquerque. The plan is to take the scenic Turquoise Trail route that winds through the hills past historic mining towns. And probably no lack of tourist traps. Off we go...
