New Mexico

Hello my friends! The last 4 days I've been hangin' out in Albuquerque/New Mexico! The town is very relaxed and compared to all other cities so far the most colorful... I am really into all the indian art you can see here and I bought a very cool Hopi handmade ring. Tomorrow I will leave and I will take 2 or 3 days to work my way towards Las Vegas! ;) First stop will be an Indian Pueblo, but check out some of Albuquerque first:

that's the indian art/gift shop where I bought my ring

the historic route 66 runs through the heart of Albuquerque and that's defnetly the most charming part of town. I spended most of my time around this area. There are a lot of cool motel signs around.

this style of houses have their inspiration from the indian pueblos. I liked them a lot when I saw them the first time

hehe, and in this copy shop on historic route 66 I had to sit quite a bit to receive the fax which expands my car contract for another 30 days

and here I once again was tempted to spend some money. You can get your handmade cowboy boots there. You can choose the colors, the material, the motives and everything. They measure your foot to make sure it'll fit right. And the boots would be only 450 dollar... grrrr...

and another cool motel sign

yersterday evening Shawn and me were out in the city. The sunset was sooo beautiful!

nice !

I met Carrie here, she's a graffitty artist. Carrie, Chris and me were hanging out the other night and had lots of fun walking to Wal Mart at 3.30 am to get smokes. But look at that super hot green girl on that wall. sweet!

that's Shawn. I stayed with him and Kathleen at their house which is the diamondway buddhist center in Albuquerque. Shawn plays guitar and sings and we had some cool jams. We set up a myspace profile for him,
