25 October – 5 November 2021 Enjoying Albuquerque

 David had to work most of the week days we were in Albuquerque this time. But we got out to our favorite places around town. Etta has made big progress and is more like here self than we have seen since March or April.  We got her Cushing’s test back and it looked good at her current medication level. We stopped at Gruet for a wine tasting and ended up picking up a couple of cases of wine for the holidays on the 30th. We drove down to Old Town on the 31^stand were surprised to find it pack with people in costumes! We had completely forgotten it was Halloween and did not know that Albuquerque has a big Halloween (and Day of the Dead) celebration in Old Town each year. So we went back in the afternoon on the 1^stand were disappointed to find many of the restaurants in Old Town had not survived the pandemic. But the Old Town Pizzeria was open and we found they had really good  Pizza and beer. One new place we also tried was the Nexus Brewery and enjoyed their New Orleans style food and good beers. We went over to Andy’s one evening to once again be wowed by his sound system.

 

Leslie and Samantha got together one of the days when David and Rick were working and took the tram up to the top of Sandia Peak before enjoying margarita’s in Old Town’s Church Street Café.
