I will be posting a highlight from our trip and some thoughts every day this week.
First off, the place we stayed.
This little Bed & Breakfast is in the heart of Old Town. Because I tend to be a bit of a B&B snob, having been fortunate enough to stay in a number of excellent spots over the past couple years, I was a little disappointed that it was on a very busy street, and it seemed the house had been poorly refurbished with little detail to authenticity or comfort. However, it was in a very convenient location and provided the perfect springboard for exploring the local flavor of historic Albuquerque.
"Guests of the Bottger Mansion are welcome to park here. Others are welcome to park somewhere else."
And does anybody else find this sign just a little amusing? Maybe it is the wording, that sweet southern charm.

Reminds me of a very Southern lady I once knew who was oft heard to say, "You are very cordially invited to kiss my lily white..." Well you get the picture. We Southerners are quite capable of snippy attitude, we just prefer to do it in a manner most befitting a lady :-)
