another thanksgiving. another trip to albuquerque. in case you were unsure, that's in new mexico, which is one of the 50 states. believe it or not, more than one person on my account has been perplexed when informed that one does not need a passport to get into new mexico territory. travel people, travel. Geo-safari. u.s. history. map of the united states. all of these are great resources to understanding such things. my personal favorite being the Geo-safari. i freakin loved this gadget when i was in elementary school and what a better toy than one that teaches as you play with it. to this day things that i have learned from my Geo-safari have come into motion at some crucial times, like bar trivia the other week. countless state capitols, state nicknames, location of states and the list goes on. not sure where i was going with this, but just wanted to say out loud that Geo-safari was one sweet toy.
well, albuquerque was great. a lot of these good things, a few of those good things, unexpected wonderful things all makes for a nice thanksgiving break. we took a day trip to sante fe, which is probably one of my most favorite hidden cities and is the united state's oldest capitol city but Geo-safari didn't teach me that tid-bit. sante fe boasts huge amounts of culture it's intoxicating. the food is traditionally southwestern and smothered in green chile, or you can get red chile, or even go for a combo of both, which is called christmas for obvious reasons. the churches are on axis, the city takes great pride in local art and cherishes the days of georgia o'keeffe. what is it about a place that keeps you coming back for more? it is the things that are constant and never see change or the things that are always evolving and the moving parts that helps make up the whole?
i think i wanna go back to rome.
but that might be selfish. there are so many other places to go that deserve attention and admiring. i'm confused by the people who travel to a certain destination year in and year out. never considering another option for the eyes and soul. i'm assuming it fills a part of them with the longing of familiarity.

glad you had such a good trip low.
'do you know how many Qs are in albuquerque?'
ha why do i remember you saying that so many years ago? p.s. i typed albuquerque into my google search to see if i was spelling it right. WOW. i got it right on the first try... evne though blooger has it underlined in red now and is telling me it is incorrect... weird.
i would love to travel to some far off destination with you. exploring a new country would be delightful with my low by my side. give me some time to make some money..
