Hi Guys!
I've had a great time so far!!! I went over to a friends house last night and that was a lot of fun to see her - hadn't seen her for a couple of years. Then when I got back to my hotel room, a friend at the conference left me a message so I went to see her and also saw another friend. We agreed to meet for breakfast this morning and had a great visit.

Then we went to Old Town in Albuquerque. It's a historical district where all the buildings are very very old flat roofed adobe. There are TONS of shops down there and we shopped till our feet couldn't go any longer. I bought Christmas gifts for my best friends and a couple of things for myself. I have SO MUCH turquoise and silver jewelry, and really don't need anything else, but I bought a bracelet and a small necklace/earrings. The friend I was with had all her jewelry stolen a few months ago, so I helped her buy a few pieces that were similar to the ones she before. We had a great time and she bought four really great pieces of wonderful jewelry.

I also bought a couple of souviners - but don't plant to buy too much, as it is too close to Christmas to spend much money.

Since I don't have my camera - I've attached some off the web
1. typical store in Old Town
2. Indian Market - the Indians have their jewelry for sale spread out on a blanket on the sidewalk around the square
3. church on the square
