Home to this years ASPAN conference, Albuquerque New Mexico - home to the native Indians - then Spanish and finally the Americans. A rich blend of cultures that has left stunning pueblo architecture, jewellery, pottery. For me the big thrill however was Route 66 - this classic road cuts right through Central - as I walked two blocks down this street everyday to the conference convention centre I tried to imagine what it must have been like 40 years ago with the Cadillacs and convertibles, bumper to bumper taking the famous trip from LA - Chicago or the other way. Now the street is fairly quiet and Albuquerque has grown outwards.
