New Mexico, as much of the southwest of the U.S. is, is stunning. I love that skyline on your top image. As always your hub is thorough and useful, but I admit to being a bit lost in the simple romance of the beauty of the region.

Yes indeed. A friend went to University of New Mexico and came to my state. I asked, how could you come to Ohio from such a beautiful place (sorry, ohio)? I think she was about to do graduate work at the university and move on. She was quite a colorfoul and interesting person, as is the state!
