This is the Nativo Lodge. It is located at 6000 Pan American Freeway in Northeast Albuquerque! In the map link it is the sort of crescent shaped building in the center. I have never stayed there but I have only heard good things about it!

We went to Tingly Beach today. Tingley Beach is part of the Albuquerque BioPark Facilities and is a series of ponds that are stocked with fish for fishing. There is a pond there specifically for kids under 12 so that they don’t have to compete with the adults! There are ducks and today for the first time I see that in the largest pond there are peddle boats! It’s a fun place.
The Albuquerque BioPark Facilites consist of The Albuquerque Aquarium, Rio Grande Botanic Garden, Rio Grande Zoo, and Tingley Beach! Also there is a train that connects all so that you do not have to worry about moving your car!

The Owl Cafe

The Owl Cafe is another cafe that has a great atmosphere. The chocolate shake are awesome. Also the pictures of The Owl Cafe during the day are not nearly as interesting! Here’s a map! The actual building is several inches lower than the little red A marker!
As you can see from the map there are several Owl Cafe. This is the only one that looks like an owl!
