Day 5
Today is our last day in ABQ. After breakfast, we headed to the Albuquerque Biopark (Zoo) which was really, really good - I recommend it. Unfortunately, a new penguin exhibit is under construction for 2018, but we got to see elephants, a new baby giraffe, gorillas, leopards, parrots, and really great amphibian and reptile exhibits. The zoo features an outdoor amphitheater in the middle with a large grassy park, so there was plenty of shade and places to beat the heat.
After the zoo, we headed north to Old Town for a delicious lunch at the
High Noon Restaurant and Saloon - which sounds like a dive, but had really good food in a nice atmosphere.

After lunch we spent the afternoon wandering around the Old Town shops and viewing the San Felipe de Neri cathedral.
We also watched a concert by Amauta, an Ecudorian band. They regularly play here and Shellie has a CD from a previous trip. It is super relaxing music and I recommend looking for their CDs. See
this article for more information on this awesome band.
