That area of the state is Beautiful as are many other places around the state! That's why they call it The Land of Enchantment! Both Santa Fe and Taos are very Special places! I live in what they call the North Valley. It is in the NW quadrant of ABQ. I live about 500 years away from the Rio Grande through what we call a Bosque, a Cottonwood forest! My office windows look out on it! This time of year we have Cranes and Geese doing flybys of my window!
The lady who does my Body work also lives in the valley which is very rural!
A couple of weeks ago I went up to Santa Fe, 50 miles away to have lunch with an old friend north of town between Santa Fe and Taos.
On the way home I drove through the "Plaza" area of Santa Fe. Acted like a tourist and just walked around! Also took the time to go back and remember memories around town! Very soothing!
