Albuquerque (October 17, 2023)

Outside the Oaxacan Zapotec House, an alien points to where the annular eclipse was.

We stopped at a crystal shop. I got some larvikite for Fox, for protection while sleeping.

Do you see the orange cat drinking from the fountain? Keep your balance, kitty!

Donna and I had our last New Mexico margaritas and nachos at the Church Street Cafe. The property was the residence of the Ruiz family from around 1706 to 1991, and is the oldest residence in New Mexico.

I've seen this sign before. Er, on social media, of course. Absolutely love it!

Yikes!  It's nearly Halloween!

 

Speaking of...this combination Halloween/Dia de los Muertos jack-o-lantern was painted by artists in Oaxaca. I got it at the Oaxacan Zapotec House. To be clear, Dia de los Muertos isn't "Mexican Halloween." They do not celebrate Halloween.
