Albuquerque

First of all I need to tell you guys about the seriously amazing food that's going on in Albuquerque. Today I went to this cafe called the Gold Street Cafe and I had the best sandwich one can ever have. So good. Apparently this is one of the perks of New Mexico and I believe that's true. And apparently the food of Santa Fe is even better, so I can't way to eat my heart out there.
Other than that I went to the downtown area today and I can conclude this: Central Avenue is fantastic. It has local art all over the place and good art at that. There are colours everywhere, and it looks like a mix between the States and Mexico. But if you move away from Central you'll be bored and nothing will happen. It's a town that lives on a single street, and even though Central goes right down Old Town, downtown and Nob Hill, it's still not enough.
I went to this Museum of Intolerance where there was no admission and it was so sad and informative at the same time. Unfortunately there was a guy who worked there, who kept talking to me, and it took away a little of the positive experience. He also said that Santa Fe was boring and that "social workers aren't exactly rocket scientists", which kind of amused me when I came to think of the fact that he worked in the Intolerance Museum. Oh well.
Then it's cool that I met Sarah and Claire, two skater girls from Chicago. They came here only because Repo Man was filmed here and that's something I can understand. I told them that I really looked forward to Omaha, and Sarah asked why. I said "the music there is fantastic" and she looked at Claire and said "Saddle Creek". And anyone who responds like that are fucking cool in my mind.
At the end of the day I went to see The Wolfman at the downtown cinema and was surprised of how many trailers they showed. Eight! Wow. And now we are at numbers. How many people have asked me for money since I got here? Six. That's more than all the other places combined. Yeah, I'm not too big on Albuquerque, but don't get me wrong: Central is great.

  1. Ja, jeg kan godt lide den med ham den intolerante på 'Intolerance Museum'. Det var måske for at vise intolerancen i dagligdagen. Umiddelbart vil jeg mene at Santa Fe vil være bedre end Albuquerque men det bliver spændende at høre om.
