I don’t entirely pay any attention when my girlfriend books trips for us.
She just tells me where I am going, how long I am going and what to bring.
When my girlfriend mentioned New Mexico, I stupidly thought the two of us were going to Mexico. I was picturing entirely warm weather, dry sand and real Mexican food. I also was prepared to mainly stay in the hotel because of the dangers, but rather than a long plane ride down to Mexico, it was a short trip to New Mexico. I abruptly felt stupid when I realized she was talking about one of hte U.S states. I am thankful the two of us ended up going there though. Clearly the state is severely safe and the people are friendly. The weather is warm, but not severely so. There were tons of things to do too. I found the local hiking trails entirely neat. The Volcanoes Day Use Area at Petroglyph National Monument has a 2 mile hiking loop that I entirely liked. There was also Sandia Peak Tramway and Bear Canyon Arroyo Open Space that I hiked around. My girlfriend and I loved the scenic routes. None of them were overly hard or taxing. The landscapes were just so pretty. The two of us even choose to rent bikes one day and do some of the smooth paths. Another plus of the state was the amazing food and legal weed shops. There were tons of wineries that the two of us could taste and purchase their handmade products. I entirely liked that. It seems like New Mexico had a little something for everyone. I am entirely delighted I got to go there.
