Albuquerque

Returning to Cochiti Lake COE we completed a 500-mile, 8-week, circle loop tour of northwestern New Mexico and southwestern Colorado.

Albuquerque ABQ Bio-Park Zoo

This is a very nice modern zoo that seems to be undergoing continuous improvements.
The flamingos are always fun to watch.
This handsome lion was keeping his eye on us.

Petroglyph National Monument

We visited the Boca Negra Canyon section of this National Monument, northwest of downtown.
Over 24,000 images carved by ancestorial Pueblo People have been identified, preserved, and documented in the Monument.
This looks like a piranha. We don't think they were in New Mexico.

El Pinto Restuarant

We are finding ourselves enjoying all the New Mexico Restaurants. We returned to El Pinto after stopping here for dinner in the Spring of 2013.
New Mexico Hatch Chilies adorn the front entry.

So you've come full circle! We ate a lot of New Mexican style Mexican food while we volunteered in Southern Colorado. It is such a different style than Tex-mex. They wanted to pour either red or green chili over everything!!
