| Route 66 Through Albuquerque |
After touring around in northern New Mexico for a couple of days (see my NM page), it was time to get down to some serious meetings in Albuquerque. This was mid-July with temperatures of about 36 C, yet the low humidity made the heat quite bearable - I did not even break into a sweat like I usually do! My impression of Albuquerque was of a clean city with wide and modern streets and buildings, yet the actual downtown area was smaller than I had imagined it would be. Maybe it was the heat of summer, but there never seemed to be too much activity in the way of either traffic or people. Since I was in town only from Monday to Thursday, maybe things are a bit more lively on the weekends? When I did venture out in the evenings, most of the action seemed to be concentrated on Central street only two blocks from my lodgings at the Hyatt Regency hotel. Photo shows a view down Central St. with the downtown anchor Bank of Albuquerque tower and, to the left, a bit of the similar roof pinnacle on the Hyatt. |

traveldave Wed Jan 9, 2008 23:32 UTC I've only driven through Albuquerque, but it looked like a nice, pleasant city. | Dabs Sat Mar 24, 2007 16:22 UTC So nothing eerie happened in Room 1313? That would have made for a good travel story! | Ekahau Sat Feb 24, 2007 00:42 UTC Route 66 and Jazz & Blues Band in Action nice page did you make it to Santa Fe | Pawtuxet Sun Dec 31, 2006 12:11 UTC Sidewalk Society...I like that idea. We chose the hotel on the National Register of Historic Places. Couldn't be happier. Thanks for the tour. |
