I spent Monday exploring Albuquerque and New Mexico’s Turquoise Trail, Hwy 14.
San Felippe Neri Church, Albuquerque, NM
Adobe architecture in Albuquerque's Old Town
Thai Buddhist Temple, Albuquerque, NM
Along Hwy 14, Madrid, NM
Car parked off Hwy 14, Madrid, NM
Madrid, NM: Shop Sign
I can see that New Mexico earns it’s title of the Land of Enchantment. The landscape is stark, yet dramatic and there’s so much art, crafts and jewelry. I was surprised by Albuquerque’s Buddhist temple, which I found by accident. The Thai people who were there were so welcoming and friendly. I loved discovering Madrid, NM as the prices were much better than Santa Fe’s.
I also got to see the Chinese consulate where I waited for over 2 hours to submit my visa application. More on that next week. I do think my observation that entering a country’s consulate is like going to that country, it prepares you for some of the attitudes and the pace of life in that part of the world.
