Old Town
Tuesday, May 31, 2016, 06:00 PM
I was up early and did some work on the AVSA website including the 2017 Convention page and the library You Tube videos. We had breakfast in the hotel - the coffee was quite good and the food was reasonable. I had the buttermilk pancakes with syrup. Total price was $18. We tried to get on the 11:00 trolly at Old Town but it was full so we bought tickets for the 1 PM and walked around Old Town. Found an artists coop of 40 artists which we enjoyed and also toured a gallery of a Taos Indian painter, RC Gorman, who has passed away. The painting go for big $$$$, starting at $12,000. Prints alone were $2,000 to $3,000. Libbie liked some tiles that were $50 each. We had a Fritos Pie for lunch which was a layer of Fritos covered with chili, beans, sour cream, lettuce and tomato. We took the excellent trolley at 1 which included the UNM campus, Route 66, Old Town and famous neighborhoods and architects. It was a great intro to ABQ. Went back and met a few AVSA people before going to an early dinner with John and Judy, Richard and Anne and 2 other ladies. We decided not to do Sandia since it was windy and cloudy. Maybe tomorrow.
