New Mexico October 2008

Howard, Al, Pat and I spent 6 days in New Mexico, from Albuquerque to Taos and a couple places in-between. It was International Balloon Fiesta week, so things were a bit nutty with the traffic, inflated prices, etc. - but the Land of Enchantment enchanted me once again...

Fly Southwest for under $300 RT and GO - with or without Rick! It is one of the most fantastic and fun things I've ever done!
