Mexico to Albuquerque

These last few days have been pretty busy for us. Monday, we went to Palomas, Mexico. We parked our car right outside the border and walked in. I had always heard about the smell of Mexico, but had never experienced it myself. It is not very pleasant. We went to the Pink Store, which is just a few yards into the country. It's very "touristy" with lots of souvenir type stuff inside. I felt much safer once we got into the building! We ate lunch there and were serenaded by their Mariachi band..it was pretty cool.   

They were a happy bunch :)

 Inside the Pink Store..painted ceramic sinks..interesting.

Tony had a great time in Mexico.

Thursday, Tate, Jase, and I went to Rockhound State Park and climbed a mountain. It was really great weather!

 We could see for miles. It was so cool!

 Friday, we headed to Truth or Consequences, NM again to play another gig. On the way, we stopped in Hatch, NM (the chili capital of the world)

Today we ate at this really cool restaurant, but we can't remember the name! It was great, the best chimichanga I've ever had.

We play tomorrow at a Baptist church here in Albuquerque. We are staying in their missions apartment tonight and tomorrow night.
I have really enjoyed seeing the new scenery and enjoying the mountains, but I'm ready to get back to the Ozarks!
