Who knew?

Way back in August Dave and I took a day trip up to Santa Fe, which is about 45 minutes north of Albuquerque.  It's an interesting town.  Similar looking to Albuquerque, but a more touristy, artsy and a nicer historic/shopping district.

Here's a picture of the landscape around Albuquerque.  The landscape around Santa Fe looks pretty much the same.


After touring their downtown (they were having a big craft fair in the town square), we drove to the Santa Fe Ski Resort just north of Santa Fe.  I googled it - the ski area is exactly 57.6 miles north of our house, and 4.2 miles from downtown Santa Fe.  Here's a picture of the Santa Fe Ski area


What?!?  How can this be?  A difference of 4.2 miles?  I couldn't believe me eyes - green mountains, trees, scenery - it was beautiful!

I guess we need to get out of Albuquerque and explore New Mexico a little more often.

    Well, that's weird! Who knew New Mexico could be pretty?

    Also, every time you mention Santa Fe, all I can think of is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaNQ0vnLtDY
