I lived in Albuquerque for a very short time of my life, right near the beginning, before I remember anything. I decided that I would take another look at it, and flew out there. I also took time to drive up to Sante Fe with the car I was renting, and after being unimpressed with Sante Fe, continued north to Colorado. After setting my eyes on the Rocky Mountains, I turned the car around and went back to Albuquerque.
