| Something about New Mexico & Chillies |
The Enchanted State is an appropriate moniker for New Mexico. Its natural beauty of both desert and mountain landscapes intermingle effortlessly with the colorful adobe architecture as would befit a civilization sculptured by Native Americans long before its statehood. In fact, this is one of North America's longest inhabited places going back to 12,000 BC and an advanced civilization of Chaco by the year 700. Make no mistake, the Spanish influence is readily apparent and no youngster dating back some 500 years but the soul of this place is steeped in Native legend. It breaths Geronimo. |
|  | a colorful mix of Native, Spanish, and Natural Today, one finds all these things easily explorable in one of the United States' most user friendly tourist destinations. Old Native American ruins, quaint and colorful Colonial Spanish towns, unabashed and inspiring nature are within a few hours drive of each other, on traffic free highways and scenic byways. Toss in world class art, innovative Southwest cuisine, ample varied lodging and it's easy to see why New Mexico receives not only raves from those who visit but remains in those lucky souls long after. |
Native Americans fit their landscapes well | | |

New Mexico has to be top of the list for our next visit to the US. It has everything we're looking for in a trip "across the pond" - native culture, history, desert & mountain scenery, great national & state parks, & tasty food. Oh, & good beer ;-) | Bwana_Brown Sun May 31, 2009 16:34 UTC
Wow Richie, White Sands is an amazing looking place! Thanks for this excellent overview of New Mexico, it really is a nice state in which to spend some time. Loved your sphinx moth photo too! | Trekki Tue May 26, 2009 04:03 UTC
Oh my.... why can't I hop in the next plane, go to New Mexico and stay there forever? D & you are right, this is a country I would love very much, for the colours, the creativity and landscape. Thanks :-)) Gorgeous photos, btw :-) | DoreenDe Tue May 19, 2009 02:34 UTC
I can't wait to stay in a 4000 star hotel again. And again.... |
