Staying on old Route 66 we drove to the heart of Albuquerque to find Old Town. Established nearly 300 years ago in April of 1706 by Spanish settlers. Old Town was a colonial farming village and a military outpost along the Camino Real between Chihuahua and Santa Fe. The central plaza was full of people and it was easy to see it's historical roots by the traditional Spanish pattern of a central plaza surrounded by a church, homes and government buildings.
We strolled around for a while and then stumbled upon a rattlesnake museum. Yipeeee snakes and crawly things. The museum was really cool and we even got a certificate of bravery for visiting. Check out the video for some close up shots of these amazing critters.

I know, it's so amazing. The street vendors, the cool shops, and the shows! When I went there was a great gun show, like an old western. Tons of fun!
Oh my gosh! I've been there! It's pretty cool isn't it? Definitely the best place I went in New Mexico!
Yeah it feels like your walking through history. It's cool to think that it hasn't changed significantly in so many years.
That was one of the greatest places I visited when I was in NM. Damn I´ve got to get back there!
Talk about walking through history. And especially a place that isn't like the East. We loved it and look forward to going back soon. Thanks for stopping by.
I left my heart in Albuquerque. Lived there 4 and a half years, and miss it every day. It's a very special place with special people.
