The main topic, however, was the new event we are all excited about - Power Walking! (Its like Race Walking but less technical).
After our sessions we went on a tour of the convention center. This will be the venue for badminton, table tennis, volleyball and shuffleboard. This place is gigantic! There was a college track meet going on which was fun to watch.
We had the afternoon off so we took a cab down to Old Town. We browsed around some beautiful art stores and some tourist curio shops. We enjoyed Mass at the San Felipe de Neri Church (built 1793) which included a renewal of vows ceremony for a 50 year couple! The Plaza is the focal point, surrounded by little markets and art shops.
Our dinner tonight was at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. After some time to explore the museum we were treated to fine meal, followed by some Native American entertainment - dancing and flute.
So the NSGA conference is over. The NM Organizing Committee did great job showing off their city and keeping us busy. The NSGA staff always presents and interesting and well organized program.
We've been this event enough times now that we've made some friends and look forward to the next event (maybe Louisville next year?) This is a fine bunch of folks, committed to the Senior Games "Movement".
We're stating three more days to explore the area some more. We'll go the airport in the morning and pick up a rental car. We'll return to Boise on Wednesday.
