Second of all.....let me tell you that I really had a great time.
We left on a Saturday morning and luckily didn't have too early of a flight and a short layover in Dallas. Ha Ha....once again American Airlines thwarted our travel plans and had a broken plane in Dallas, which delayed us by 1 hour. No problem.....I'd rather find out the plane is broken BEFORE we take off in it. So arrival into Albuquerque was 2:30pm.
Aaron met us at the airport and the adventure began. His first task was to find a good pizza place that had green chiles so that we could sample what EVERYONE in New Mexico eats at every meal.
He found this pizza place right across the street from the University of New Mexico.
He did careful research and found the BEST tasting pizza and a great way to start off our visit to Albuquerque!
This was green chile's on the whole pizza and sausage on half and pepperoni on the other half. Needless to say, there wasn't any leftovers. It was nice to just sit, enjoy a cold beer, and catch up!
After our delicious lunch, we headed to Aaron's apartment. But first we had to stop at the meat market and buy our green chile bratwurst. Cooking those up was definitely something I was looking forward too!
After giving Paul the grand tour of Aaron's house, we just sat, talked, and chilled for awhile. There really wasn't a plan for the first night.....but after a lot of arm twisting......we were headed to the casino! The Hard Rock Casino on the Isleta reservation was only a short 10 minutes away.
We stayed and played for 3-4 hours and then headed to Walmart for our gourmet dinner of hot dogs and chips (it was only 11pm). We had to get to bed because we had an early morning wake up for our Sunday adventure.
Aaron was gracious enough to let us have his bedroom......so off to bed we went!
Stay tuned for Day 2 in New Mexico!
