New Mexico

I was going to title this 'Santa Fe' but everything we did was spread out and oftentimes not classified as Santa Fe so I'm titling it 'New Mexico.' I spent a few weeks in Santa Fe, New Mexico while my mother was working on a western film there. The spirit of the old west is really retained in New Mexico, especially once you leave the suburbs, though the adobe houses within the city are also gorgeous just to hang around. There is a lot of local craftsmen and places to walk around within the city but there are a plethora places worth going to that you'll need to drive to.

Everything is linked for your convenience.
