Last day at ABQ

So today was my last full day at Albuquerque area and tomorrow I'll be flying home. Morning started with a Egg McMuffin breakfast. Gotta admit, the bun didn't really make me it's fan, but it was edible.

After that we continued on to Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. They exhibit Native American history in the US and how they have been treated within the tribes and in the mainstream society. There were also exhibits displaying the clothes and pottery used in diferent pueblos. At the end of the exhibit they had a Native American dance group doing a buffalo dance, which would have been nice if we hadn't been sitting behind a bad behaving young boy who should have been able to concentrate to the show. Very eye opening exhibition to someone that isn't too familiar with Native American culture or history.

Whatever floats your boat

From the museum we drove to the Albuquerque's old town where we had dinner in a diner which was good and cheap. We walked little around the the old town plaza waiting for mariachi band to start playing. The started about an hour later than we were told. So we had time to listen to only about three songs. Well mariachi is nice but maybe not my favourite msic.

From the old town we headed out to our final sight, the National Hispanic Cultural Center. The museum has three exhibits of which one is permanent. There was both painting art and sculptures. One of the temporary exhibitions displayed clay sculptures. Even though the museum is not the biggest out there, there was plenty to see and all of it quite interesting. For 3 dollars, it was definitely bang for the buck.

For dinner we ate at Chili's where the food was really good and price wasn't that bad.
