Valentine’s Day is coming, are you ready?

Like it or not, Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and I’m choosing to do something I absolutely LOVE: free walking tours at the Rail Yards!


If you still haven’t taken one of my walking tours, this is your chance! I’ll be on site both days of the upcoming Rail Yards Valentine Market: Saturday, February 10th and Sunday the 11th.

This special market runs from 10 am until 2 pm both days and I’ll be offering free 30-minute tours on the hour, every hour.

The Rail Yards Market is the perfect place to find specialty goods like flowers, chocolates, and thoughtful gifts from local vendors. Check out all the details on the Rail Yards Valentine Market Facebook event page.




I hope you’ll make plans to take a tour or at least come say hello! It meant a lot to see many of you during December’s Holiday Market and I’m looking forward to another bustling weekend at the Rail Yards.

Hasta pronto!

We did it! Your votes got me in Albuquerque the Magazine!

Remember way back when I kept hounding you for votes for Albuquerque the Magazine’s Best of the City Awards?

After voting closed, I didn’t hear anything regarding results. Not a single word for months. I was starting to think I didn’t make the cut.

Then, with only only days before the big awards party the magazine throws each December, I found out my little tours business would in fact have a spot among this year’s honors.

Thanks to you, Follow Eric Walking Tours earned a spot among the Top 5 awards for Best New Business Idea!

A big congratulations goes to Opera on the Menu on taking the top spot. I’m highly intrigued by this pair of local entrepreneurs who have started offering operatic dinner theater experiences through a combination of intimate live theater and farm-to-table dining.

As for my tours, they will resume in earnest when the regular market season starts up in April/May. Keep an eye on the blog here or make sure you’re following on Instagram and Facebook for the latest updates. I hope to see you on a tour soon.

Thank you for an incredible year. I’m closing out 2023 with a full heart and optimism for the new year.

Hasta pronto!

Happy Holidays from Follow Eric!

Wherever you are, whatever you’re celebrating, I hope you’re enjoying this holiday season.


However you’re commemorating this season of gratitude, I want to take this time to share my heartfelt thanks for each and every one of you. Whether you’ve been around since 2009 during my off-the-wall Blogathon antics in Oklahoma or you’ve tuned in this year after learning about my free Albuquerque walking tours I kicked off over the summer, I’m grateful for every single one of you who take time out of your day to keep in touch.


Blogging has opened up my world to a whole cast of characters I may not have otherwise met: fellow bloggers, writers, travelers, nomads, peregrinos, tour guides, hostel owners, small business owners, entrepreneurs, restaurateurs, chefs, musicians, photographers, and artists of all kinds. Believe me when I say you all pop into my memories all the time as I sit down to a meal or browse through old photos and videos or share travel stories with friends. I hope you think of me from time to time as well.


To all of you, I wish happiness and health this holiday season.

Hasta pronto!

Eric
