Miscellany

[kyrielle]

We have driven around Albuquerque and seen the sights, which was fun. We have also seen many McDonald's. To the point that I commented on them and then Jenn began pointing them out as if they were important landmarks to note. I commented on the way back that I was going to post that we were cataloguing all the McDonald's in Albuquerque, but she said we missed about seven of them in the core downtown area that we didn't want to go through, and I doubt we'll go pick them up. So alas, my analysis of the distribution of McDonald's restaurants in greater Albuquerque will go unwritten.

(Which it would have anyway, of course.)

We came back to the hotel and began testing BPAL scents. Much to my chagrin and pleasure, it turns out I SHOULD have given into the temptation to buy Tokyo Stomp, as it does truly lovely things on my skin. Fortunately (and unfortunately) it prefers to be "interesting" on Jenn's skin, so she doesn't want to keep the bottle and we're swapping. I'm sorry for her that it doesn't work, but it does like me, and it is fascinating both by itself and sniffed with my beloved Wicked.

GLEE! Also, I believe I have managed to amuse Jenn by my diligent acquisition of tourist brochures from the hotel. What? They're fun!

I love to pick through tourist brochures from a hotel/motel/amtrak station. It's most interesting to do it for the town where you actually live, to see the town through the eyes of tourists.

Hmm. I should try that here - thank you!

Tourist brochures? Really? Places you might actually go or do you just collect them?

[kyrielle]

I like looking at them, so sometimes I grab places I won't go, but in this case I at least grabbed ones from the area, things we could do.

Did you go see the old Albuguergue?
I can't remember what they call it.
That was cool to see. (in a hot New Mexico weather kind of way)

[kyrielle]

They call it Old Town. ;) And yes, we did, although not until Sunday. Way too hot out, but still very worth it.

The hot part I remember because we went to look around Old Town in the middle of August.
