An more elegant way to query MongoDB in Ruby?

I am fairly new to Ruby and MongoDB in particular. I use Mongo in a Ruby script to store and process thousands of Tweets in a collection. I would love to improve legibility and "rubyness" of the find command here:

require 'rubygems'
require 'mongo'

db      = Mongo::Connection.new("localhost").db("db")
coll    = db.collection("tweets")

cursor = coll.find({
   'geo_enabled' => true,
   'status.text' => { '$exists' => true },
   'followers_count' => {
   '$gte'   => 10,
   '$lt'    => 100 }
})

cursor.each_with_index { |row,idx|
  # do stuff
}

The mongodb query syntax drives me nuts! Is there a more elegant, ruby-like way to do a query?

You can use Mongoid, it has nice syntax for queries, much similar to that of ActiveRecord/ActiveRelation.
