Albuquerque Trip Report

11.21 arrived in ABQ, tired, sleep, Lucy welcomed me with a screaming Auntie Lorelai and mad sprint toward me. Lucy is the sweetest. I wished I had a video camera. Homecooked meal by mom. Went to Costco. Went to the mall. Did a carousel ride. Adults didn't get to ride, oh well:(.

11.22 BioPark(Rio Grande Zoo, Albquerque Aquarium). The zoo was not the most animal friendly zoo. There was a lot of debris/construction around the park. The spaces were small. I have mix feelings about zoos. It's great to see animals live, but ultimately they are in cages, in prison. We saw a lot of animal poop and gorillas eating their poop. Ugh! We were there from 10am - 5pm(closing time). Lucy and Jack didn't complain. Lucy said a few times she wanted to go home, but overall, no fits, just lots of walking. I was starved since I couldn't eat the lunch. The burrito I ordered was drenched in cheddar cheese. No cheese was on the menu, next time I need to remember, when in doubt check.

Picked up my race bib at Fleet Feet. Thank goodness I wasn't running a marathon the next day. My feet were tired.

11.23 Woke up around 7:30am, had a banana, ran in the race, family came out to cheer
showered, ate a cold Thanksgiving lunch, still good. One of my cousin's called. We thought it was an emergency since he never calls, but he called to wish us Happy Thanksgiving. How thoughtful!

Played at nearby park, at Thanksgiving dinner. Ate too much:)



11.24 Took family to airport. Came home, took another stroll. Had lunch at a Brazillan Grill. Ate too much again:).

11.25 got up at 5am, ate banana, and oatmeal, get ready for my long run, ran, showered
left for Santa Fe around 12:30pm, lunch in Santa Fe at Ore House, liked the Yucatan tacos




went to Georgia O' Keeffe museum interesting documentary at the museum

11.26 met runliarun at Borders, went to church at Hoffmantown Church, it's a megachurch, lunch at China Star, ate too much food again, took a 20min stroll around neighborhood, came home, finish postcard, and left for airport
