This morning we did stop by Flying Star for a Breakfast to help start the last day of our trip. There they made yummy Whole Wheat Blueberry muffins and the best flavor of Orange Chocolate chips muffins! It's not fun to make the day better than yesterday... but let's try it! Yesterday is the memory of Monroe's new mexican food... Since 1962, Monroe's has been serving the best in New Mexican cuisine to local residents and their friends. Monroe's began as small drive-in near Old Town in ABQ, specializing in reasonably priced - high quality New Mexican food served with a dash of good fun... and Friends are Flowers that never fade, so we'll be back!

We love Robek's!

It's just time to wrap our two big back packs (and Baby Bjorn) and go... to joy the sunny day... We are staying with Philee's old friends Maria Thomas and her husband Wade for our last days in ABQ. Maria is a designer in the Albuquerque Botanic Garden, so we went to see her work and enjoyed all the beauty in one breath. For the Aquarium we had to forget how big was the Monterey Bay and enjoyed the silence of the deep blue. Mariposario was just a perfect place to spend a good time in a good mood and the most of the time in the shade of threes... Butterflies everywhere... Can you imagine?

Mi Casa Quilting

Another Robeck's smoothies at Menaul street to refresh our bodies at the late afternoon, and right after a super long night with Shrimps n Parmesan Spaghetti at the place of the best lady I ever met... At Kathy's Long arm Mi Casa Quilting House... This was amazing day to live! Thank you! We'll be back...
