Our exploration of the Old Town Plaza will begin with coffee, tea and biscochitos on the balcony of our home, looking out over the original town square and historic San Felipe Church. We will overlook history as well, and gaze back from the Tewa people on who’s land Old Town was built, to life on the plaza during the Spanish, Mexican and American colonial periods. Next we will undertake a walking tour of the plaza with a focus on the old adobe architecture and the stories associated with the buildings and smaller placitas that make up Old Town, using historical photos and visuals to support the information. This stroll will include secrets and lore unknown even to most Albuquerque residents, interaction with some of the "old timers" that live and work here, and pointers what to see and do and where to eat, tailored to the needs and interests of each group. Old Town is a valuable community resource and there are frequent impromptu happenings- quinceaneras, vintage car parades, etc. The tour will embrace these spontaneous events as they occur making the visit to Old Town even more vibrant and personal. Finally, at the end of the tour experience, participants have the option of being served lunch at La Placita Dining Room in the Manuel Armijo House, one of the oldest structures on the Plaza, built in 1706. Please contact for custom tour times. Se habla espanol. Other things to note As planned the tour involves one flight of stairs.

Interested in Dairy Goats, Chickens, Llamas, mini horses? Visit with me as I do my afternoon feedings. I will introduce myself and talk about Los Alamos, New Mexico. I can tailor the visit to the audience: for families, for kids, for a birthday party. One guest asked me to make a birthday card with her son's name and have a goat "recycle" te card. Eight years ago my then teenage son decided to raise dairy goats. And that started it all. I will introduce you to each goat and tell you about about them and their story. I will also talk to you about the two breeds I raise, Oberhaslis and Nigerian Dwarfs. I will talk about the American Dairy Goat Association and what dairy goat shows are all about. I am an amateur, but I can talk about making goat milk soap and lotion. I will also show you the chickens and tell you about about them and the breeds I raise. I also talk about what it takes to have backyard chickens. Chickens are protein making machines. They are the ultimate compost machine in my opinion! My mini horse Carmelita had a baby boy born in June 2021. His name is Cincinnati. I will explain to you the Dottie Llamas's job is to keep the predators away - coyotes. She has been on the job 5 years. I will have my cell phone on a selfie stick. So I will be using my phone to communicate with you.
