I didn't quite luck out with the timing of this trip. Usually Beth's weekdays are free and clear. Work takes place mostly on weekends. However, Beth's parents' visit happens to fall on this upcoming weekend, and Beth needed to request time off. She thought this time off request was pretty much taken care of until she went into work on Monday. She was presented with a list of people that weren't working this weekend and was told, "Find somebody to trade shifts with you." Many phone calls later, Beth got the weekend clear of work but ended up with 12 hour shifts both Wednesday and Thursday. Yes, the working world blows. I am bummed that my time with Beth got cut, but I do have a city to explore and am not worried about having to keep myself occupied.

Yesterday Beth took me to Old Town to soak up the touristy culture. On the way, Beth got turned around, and we ended up exploring a neighorbood, and I got to experience my first Speed Table.
She had a salsa class at the end of the day and insisted that I came along. I wanted to but hesitated due to my lack of cordination and sense of rhythm. Before we left she taught me the line dance that is done at the beginning of every class and basic salsa. Still a little nervous we walk to the class only to disvoer that it was cancelled for the day. Oh well. I got the tour of the UNM campus instead and got to stand in the Center of the Universe.
