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 itās worth seeing those dwarf pines covered in snow - Iāve never seen anything like it. I like the people there too, everyoneās friendly and hospitable and most of them speak my language. -Saguiv RosenstockĀ
Silver City, Madrid, Deming, NOT Santa Fe itās overrated and darksided, Albuquerque, RUIDOSO and Cloudcroft (both a favorite vacation spot for Texans because theyāre 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 !!!
Itās very recently been made a national park and itās a weird, otherworldly, and stunning place. The worldās largest gypsum dunefieldā¦ thereās sand and itās white
Closest town is a Mexican sister city right across the river, then a smattering of smaller New Mexican towns scattered through the desert, then absolutely nothing for hoursājust empty space, sand, dust, sparse vegetation, and the open road. You can drive something like eight hours one way before reaching civilization. Thereās not much to do there and sometimes it felt like a place time forgotā¦ havenāt been back there in a few years.
Donāt think I could give a higher recommendation than Les Blank. Greatest American Film maker in my opinion. Doesnāt miss. Every film represents the simplicities in life through different American communities and traditions. The intimate way he films makes it seem like heās just shooting without a plan. Heās just filming the environment. Itās all natural. Theres so much innocence and I donāt think this could exist anymore. Itās right before everyday people developed a āperformativeā identity when being filmed so thereās still that honesty and vulnerability. -Jack Tobias
I like to read a lot of religious stuff, and probably the best part of the history of religion is the last 2500 years of Hindus and Buddhists roasting each other in long philosophical screeds. They love calling each other morons and implying that the other school of thought is just malicious lies. There's all these legends about specific monks and mystics "defeating" one another.Ā These debates are still thriving on social media and its become most of my youtube algorithm. -Sam Pickard
I canāt remember the last time I felt this way in a museum. Spent my whole day there and learned a lot. It was truly moving and inspiring. Canāt recommend it enough if youāre in Copenhagen- even if sculptures arenāt your thing, this place will change that about you. Also the building is majestic and beautiful. Perfect place. -Saguiv RosenstockĀ
