Saturday with Family

Today was a good day with my sister Jane and my brother-in-law Hack. First thing this morning we went down to Southwestern Gems and Minerals on Central Avenue. Jane is a rock hound and loves to look for unusual rocks and stones for her collection. This store was a good one, according to her - what do I know?


After lunch, we went to the Corrales Heritage Days which is centered around the Casa San Ysidro, a museum in an old Spanish house close to the old Church. We saw artisans, heard stories of how the original and recent owners built and changed the house, saw interesting animals, and learned how to bake bread in an horno.


Then we finished the day with a walk through the Corrales Bosque along the Rio Grande River.


All in all, a good day.

There's always lots to do in and around Corrales. One of my favorite places around Albuquerque.

I saw a llama at San Ysidro! So exciting! What were they doing with the llama and the horse??
