Terra Encantada

So, New Mexico is known as the Land of Enchantment. It could not be more aptly named. I just returned from a week-long visit that included Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Taos. I wasn't truly drawn in until I drove into Taos, turning a corner with the backdrop of unbelievably huge mountains and the Rio Grande gorge in view. Oh, and the stars... you have no concept of how many there are up there until you shed some of that man-made light below. WOW. So, I think the next thousand entries will be dedicated to the beauty of New Mexico. I'm thoroughly enchanted.
