The Land of Enchantment

Most probably don't know that New Mexico is called the land of enchantment, but here I am telling you that it is. So I went to New Mexico for a couple days and had such a great time. It is such a different place than over here on the east coast..the food, the architecture, the people, the cost of living and just the style of living. Its crazy how it changes so much from each state in this country; makes for some excitement I guess. The main reason for going was a wedding but we did so much more. My mom and I went to Sante Fe for the day and just walked around and hung out. The historic downtown is set up where there is a park in the middle surrounded by tons of shops and people selling their handmade jewelry, so cool. I've never been when its snowing, so I definitely want to go back sometime in the winter. We stayed in Albuquerque in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains and hiked around there one morning. I attempted at climbing this massive boulder for a sweet picture but realized my life would be in jeopardy on the way down, so I only went half way, smart thinking.kinda. And there would be pictures but my dumb camera got rained on by the stupid rain. What is it with me and water and electronics. Couldn't it have rained on my shoes or a book or I don't know something less expensive. Then the wedding was in Bernallio....soo gorgeous out there. You can see for miles. Okay, one of the best parts about going out there was that I got to see WIMBY!! She was so excited to see us, I think she remembered, of course she did, ill just tell myself that.

Only two more weeks left in d.c.....ahhhh I still have to go to every monument. shoot.

This is the part of my life I call 'running'

I felt like Will Smith on The Pursuit of Happiness on more than 2 occasions this weekend. I chased down public transportation like no other, I was sprinting- bags in hand every freakin time, a rush I tell ya. But unlike him, I made it, lucky me.

This past weekend I went to new york city. It was my first time there and I got to see my good friend, so that was so exciting. I took the bus leaving from Chinatown in d.c. Doesn't sound too promising does it? Well let me tell you, its wasn't. But hey you can't beat 35 bucks round trip, so keeping that in mind it was easy to be flexible. New York was great! We went to Times Square, Rockefeller Center, rode the Metro lots, ran along the Hudson river, walked through Central Park, ate lunch in Greenwich Village, tried to get dessert at Serendipity [booo lines], and swam in the ocean at Long Beach. WoW, all that in just two days, and I'm sure there is much more to see and do. I mean its only the biggest city in our country. Come to think of it, I just realized I didn't see any famous people, not that I was looking..well I guess that means one thing, famous people are just overrated. Well not really, it would be better to say famous people stakeouts are overrated. Until I venture off to more new places, I'm happy to be back in d.c.
