If you are still posting I would ask you what you expected? We have lived all over the country and traveled extensively. Regardless of why we left ABQ, I have to say it is one of the prettiest places we have seen and has almost ideal weather. Too bad you didn't open your eyes a little wider.

EBcrawler, you only had three posts with only one in the Albuquerque thread which you started....
