Interesting diversions in Albuquerque, N. M.

[thruthefence]

I am accompanying my wife to Albuquerque this week for a training seminar, and was wondering if anyone has any technically oriented points of interest to recommend. I've got the Eclipse Aircraft factory, and the Unser Racing museum in the Garmin so far. Anything "Route 66" themed? I have an old friend who's eat up with old Corvettes, and I'd like to pick something up for him while I'm out there.


How about restaurants?

Flea market at State Fair Grounds is huge (Sat and Sun)
Or if your really a good friend you could get this for him

"local flavor", hit up Barela's coffee house for chile or Monte Carlo steak house then shoot to old town for a Margarita or two.
