downtown Albuquerque, NM

If you ever find yourself waiting for a train in downtown Albuquerque, I can recommend the Gold St. Caffe for great food, coffee, and service. I also walked around a bit, and like Old Towns everywhere there is the sense of a caring community doing all it can to restore and nurture the character of the place. And while it will never be the precious gem that Santa Fe is -- too gritty for that -- it still has a certain Southwestern flair.
