Joe's mom came to visit this weeked and so we took advantage of the tourist attractions that Albuquerque has to offer. Today we went to a GREAT part of Albuquerque called "Old Town." It is the original area where Albuquerque was founded and where settlers first started building. Today we ate lunch that is historically a home that was built in the late 1700s! People have turned the area into specialty stores where you can find souvenirs, artwork, jewelry, and tasty treats. I'm not a fan of spicy food, but when I saw a "New Mexico Snapping Turtle" treat, I had to try it. It was a turtle cluster made out of peanuts, milk chocolate, and caramel, only there was chili powder in the caramel! Debra (Joe's mom) turned around and after seeing the huge bite I took out of mine said, "Oh my goodness! You took a big bite! Just wait!" and seconds later... my throat was burning and I was trying to muffle my coughs. It was tasty enough before the burn, but I think next time I will pass up on chocolate with red chiles in it.

Just a small part of Old Town. The buildings were so cool!
