It’s very recently been made a national park and it’s a weird, otherworldly, and stunning place. The world’s largest gypsum dunefield… there’s sand and it’s white
Underrated state. No joy like eating a green chile breakfast at Frontier Cafe (Albuquerque) or El Jacalito (Las Cruces). White Sands is a wild place (the sand stays cool and feels different than most sands) and the drive coming down from Colorado is very dangerous but it’s worth seeing those dwarf pines covered in snow - I’ve never seen anything like it. I like the people there too, everyone’s friendly and hospitable and most of them speak my language. -Saguiv Rosenstock
Silver City, Madrid, Deming, NOT Santa Fe it‘s overrated and darksided, Albuquerque, RUIDOSO and Cloudcroft (both a favorite vacation spot for Texans because they’re high up in the mountains in the middle of Lincoln National Forest). Bohemian, quirky, easy-going, friendly people, lots of cool little shops with handmade goods and cheap antiques, unique historical sites like the Gila Cliff Dwellings, countless hiking trails, fresh desert air, green chiles, and the sunsets will take your breath away !!!
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
