我也在NM， 很喜欢气球节。

但Abq绝不像你所说的乏然无味。Nobhill and downtown on Central are very nice, kind of chic; several newer buildings in downtown are also very nice. Sandia mountain is beautiful and it full of pine trees. It is a very nice drive to east into mountains. And think about that song’s lyric ‘majestic purple mountain”, that is here. You do see the purple mountain at sunset time, right? Abq can fly balloon because it has vast open sky with great clarity. It’s a large city with a small town feel. And it is a fewer cities in America that you can still be very close to nature.
