Afterward we headed across to the Albuquerque Museum of Natural History and Science http://www.nmnaturalhistory.org/ and had a great time. The best thing about this museum was the New Mexico take on palaeoecology with its 'Dinosaur Century - 100 years of discovery in New Mexico' exhibit, and its exhibit about the development of computers. Who knew that the very first computer was developed here in Albuquerque, or that Microsoft had its beginnings here?!
We wandered around the old town in the afternoon, stopping for a late lunch at a Greek cafe. Ken is having his siesta now as I type the blog! Tomorrow we head for arty Santa Fe ...
