A whine about winter

[Dlbelfrey at aol.com]

Have to agree with you 1000% LaRae.  I'm a born and bred New Mexican.  Want 
fantastic scenery, we have it all except for ocean front views, but we have a 
beach that's out of this world, called White Sands.  Want fantastic climate, 
everything from almost Arctic to almost Death Valley got those too.  Mountain 
ranges, valleys, rivers, lakes, alpine meadows, mesas, deserts we got them 
plus lots of elbow room.  

I live just south of Albuquerque, the largest city in the state, in a small 
village along the Rio Grande.  If you come for nothing else Esther try at 
least once to visit us during October for the balloon fiesta.  Our incredible 
turquoise skies are filled for a week with hot air balloons, hundreds and 
hundreds of them.  We are getting close to 1000 showing up and still growing.

Come and visit the Land of Enchantment you just might decide to stay!!!
