Old Town Albuquerque

We arrived in Albuquerque last Friday. Saturday we needed to find the Camping World Store. We purchased a different tow bar for our car when we were in Williams. The only problem we had with the old tow bar was that we needed to be really straight in order for us to get it unhooked. The new one we purchased is an All Terrain and it has levers to release the tension so it is easier to work. We were just afraid that we might someday get into a spot where we couldn't get the car straight but would need to remove it to back the motorhome up. It hasn't happened to us yet but you never know. We purchased a 6 inch riser and discovered we only needed a 4 inch so, off we went to exchange it.

We also did a little exploring of the area, found a full service car wash and stopped for lunch at Olive Garden. When we go to restaurants we usually like to get things we can't cook at home, so every so often we like to go to Olive Garden for lunch just to get a bowl of Pasta E Fagioli. With the soup, salad and the bread we can make a really good meal.

Today we went off to explore Old Town. It wasn't what we expected, a lot of shops. Very touristy. We also went to the Aquarium and Botanical Gardens.



Not the best Aquarium we have ever seen but it was a nice day. We'll see what else we can see tomorrow.
