A Few Days in the Duke's City of New Mexico

Fountain in downtown Albuquerque. That is abuela Carol and nieto Diego in front of her.

St Philip de Neri Church in the middle of Old Town, Albuquerque

Wednesday morning we spent walking around Old Town. Lunch at La Placita.

Eating at NYPD Pizza Place in downtown Albuquerque. Carol, Sharon & Diego. Only fair: good pizza, bad service.

Central Ave, formerly Hwy 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles, going through the middle of Albuquerque and the middle of a lot of other towns as well, the way highways were built when I was a boy. In the 40s we would sit glued to the windows of our car.

Sign on pedestrian walkway in Albuquerque, about 4th and Central Ave (aka Rte 66)

Gigantic dessert served by two waiters at Rte 66 Diner on Central Ave ABQ.
Somehow I'm not surprised that these folks ordered this dessert.

New Orthodox Church on 4th St ABQ, just down the street from Catholic and Protestant churches.

Corn is higher than your head by 1 Aug in ABQ. Taken on residential street a few blocks from Sharon and Leo's house in the Barelas neighborhood.

“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety
