ALBUQUERQUE!!!

[ickaimp]

From Albuquerque

Lived here for the first several years of my life and used to come out here every summer or every other summer.

-Forgot how much this area feels like home. Could do without the air pollution, but the adobe/pueblo houses, the plants, the feel of the land make me want to wiggle down and not leave.

That and who can argue at town names such as 'Truth or Consequences'? (story here)

-Mentioned to a lady that I haven't been here in over a decade and her response is that I haven't missed much. It's bigger, but there's still not much to do.

Anyway, trip up from El Paso was good, did some practise driving a stick (@_@) and had lunch at St. Clair Winery Bistro. Got to try some local wines, some of which were quite good.

Have apparently left the ghosts behind, although we did have a rather suspenseful moment of mysterious rhythmic wall pounding last night. It... ah... was a rather enthusiastic couple upstairs. No voices however, so it couldn't have been THAT good. ~_~

I experienced T or C when driving to Santa Fe for work in January.

Everyone else had to explain it to me - I was quite amused...

Either that or they just thought they were being quiet and no one would notice...

Could have been worse. In Darwin last december I had bogans having protracted and poor quality sex in broad daylight in the spa-pool in front of the office. Shudder.

Waah! Jealous!

I grew up in ABQ, from pre-school through college and the birth of my first child. My two younger brothers still live there, and it's still "home" to me. Wish I was there with you - have fun!

So are you going back to that Mexican place that you and your dad went to when he visited?

*gets the hiccups from laughing so hard*

Thank you for that. ^___^

Nope, that's in Silver City. It's a bit of a drive from here, unfortunately. ^__^
