[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3180381, member: 10465"] The tram ride up to Sandia Peak is awesome. Supposedly the longest tramway in the world. Go at a time to catch the sunset over about 20 miles of desert. A great view and a fun ride up and back. Good food at the Mexican Restaurant at the tram's base. In Albuquerque, go to Duran's Pharmacy, a favorite of many locals, and eat Red/Green Enchiladas (I like it "Christmas style", 1 of each... or 2 or 3 of each as appropriate) at the diner in back by the drug counter. Avoid El Pinto, (a cool atmosphere but lousy food) but both Gardunos and Monroe's are good eats for New Mexican Style Chow. Monroe's had some killer hot sauce that about ate the lining off my intestines I think but it sure was good ...going in anyway. Wife and I both liked Old Town. She spent a bunch of money there on jewelry, but it was good stuff and a lot less than you'd pay for similar items here. I like the ice cream shop in Old Town a lot. If you are at all into Mexican Pottery, it's the real colorful stuff called "Talavera", the selection and prices at the shops near Old Town is excellent and about 1/4 the prices you'll find locally. Here's a pic of a sink ( and a few other Talavera Pieces) my wife had to have; it caused me to remodel a whole bathroom around it.
