Our New Mexico Adventure

I-25 to Las Vegas, New Mexico

G. and I had a great time driving through northern New Mexico. We gained an appreciation for the scenery and small towns while living in Albuquerque. Northern New Mexico feels peaceful and quiet; the weather is cool, there are mountains and plains (sometimes not quite green, especially in drought). I can't describe it. You can easily find much more poetic descriptions of New Mexico (don't get me started on Santa Fe) and a lot of it sounds too tourist-y to be true. All I can say is that there is definitely something intriguing about this region.
