Day 10 ~ Albuquerque

I knew we should have made that left turn at Albuquerque. Dad has been waiting to utter these words made famous by none other than the infamous Bugs Bunny, and today his wait ended. We're in Albuquerque, and it is cute here. We've been driving down Route 66. We found a masjid to go Jummah prayers here, and alhumduillah, it was really nice. Lavender grew outside the masjid and it was so fragrant. It seems like they have a very active community here and have lots going on. Afterwards, we went downtown and walked around. We went into a few Native American stores and met some Indians. Someone who used to live here told us about a restaurant that was really good so we thought we'd try it out. We got directions, and it didn't seen that far so we decided to walk. It turned out to be a walk and half. It was a lot, a lot, farther than we anticipated. We were starving when we got there. It was cute little place known for their chili. After we finished eating, we walked to another historic downtown area. We went into the world's largest collection of rattlesnakes exhibit. There were tons of them and if you got too close to the glass, they would start rattling their tail. It was cool.
