Albuquerque, New Mexico

In New Mexico, we wanted to catch the migrating birds enjoying the warmer weather before our next stop. At Bosque de Apache National Wildlife Refuge we found the Sand Hill Cranes feasting on corn and Snow Geese crossing the road. We also saw a pair of Golden Eagles (on my list) but the photo didn't turn out. You'll just have to take my word for it.















Isleta Pueblo lakes by RV park
We arrived at Isleta Pueblo's casino RV park to start our stay in Albuquerque. They have a couple of small lakes stocked for fishing and plus conveniently adjacent to the Rail Runner train that took us to downtown and later to Santa Fe.

The train was a very affordable alternative to driving into the city and figuring out everything from streets to parking.

While downtown we visited Pueblo Cultural Center catching a glimpse of the different peoples of the area. A very comprehensive display and venue for cultural events.











While in Old Town Albuquerque we visited the world's most extensive display of Rattlesnakes. It kinda makes you think twice about walking in the desert. Some are very small and well camouflaged.

During our visit we used the bathroom facilities. It was occupied by a couple of tortoises. I don't think they minded sharing. They hardly moved, my husband didn't even think they were real.

Restroom Male or Female?
