I used to live in Denver and we went to Santa Fe a couple of times--absolutely GORGEOUS country. There's something really magical and spiritual, really, about the Southwest.
It's the peyote pollen in the air.
Well, Santa Fe is one of those towns that has learned to dress up as itself, but the northern part of the state is beautiful. I'm in the Manzano Mtns, and life is good.
That's what I mean. It took my breath away.
I agree with you. I feel very blessed to be able to live in the SW... though I think overall we have the most beautiful country.
