New Mexico - Never been but looking forward to it
« on: April 20, 2005, 01:29:14 PM »
I have a conference to attend in Albuquerque May 19th.  Wife and I fly out the day before.

Looking forward to a nice break, although bummed I will not be able to play in the golf tournament that is on day 1.

Any AHers out that way?

Man, I feel for you.
Getting a trip to New Mexico's armpit.

If you have a couple free hours, do take a trip to Sandia Peak. If you have a free day run up to Santa Fe.

Whatever, don't judge New Mexico by Albuquerque ... that is like judging LA by a visit to Watts.

No need to "feel for me".  I'm having a four or five day "vacation" on the company's dime...with my wife....WITHOUT our children.

Sex, sex, sex...then maybe some sightseeing....then more sex.

I recommend a visit to Gallup, NM.  I spent a month there one weekend.

My ex-wife's (may I out live her so I can defacate on her grave) great uncle built most the infastructure of Albuquerque.  Only been there a couple times, BUT one time, while driving to L.A. I was leaving the city heading west and the sun was going down.  Albuquerque is in a valley, and I pulled over on the side of the road and it was quite beautiful, all nestled in and the light hitting it just so.  Took a smoke break admiring it.  

Place can't be any worse than where I live currently (Oklahoma City).

Curval has a point.

Sex with his wife was the best part of my trip to New Mexico.

Really though, that place is a ****ing hole. We should give it back

I highly recommend you visit the cities of Tucumcari and Truth or Consequences while you are in NM. No, neither town has much to offer but they have cool names

IMHO Taos Pueblo & Santa Fe are both worth visiting & the museum at Los Alamos is of tremendous value if you are researching building an atomic weapon

well if you and the wife go out at night the downtown scene (when I was there) was pretty good.

Check out the "the brewery" that was more of an older (more white) crowd than other places.  I say this because even the cab driver warned us there are certain "types" that go to certain places downtown and that's just the way it is.

Other than that NM aint a bad state if you like poverty outside of a few thriving cities.
