Today, Saturday, we drove from Gallup to Albuquerque. This is a city with a very old and varied background. We visited the wonderful Museum of Art and then went to Mary & Tito's restaurant. We shared a unique dish called a turnover. Actually it is a Sopaipilla that is rolled as a tortilla with all the stuff inside and then fried in oil. It was incredible. Then we had some Mexican wedding cake with lots of pineapple pieces in it. Mary herself, 88, came by to talk with us. Her husband, Tito, was the force behind opening the restaurant and originated the turnover. They have been in business for 50 years. What fun.
