santa fe, nm

being in santa fe, nm is almost like being in another country. not surprisingly, mexico. mountains and desert. mexican / southwestern art and tradition. it's pretty much the crossroads of texas and mexico. so just about everyone speaks spanish and/or wears a cowboy hat & boots it seems. tons of tex-mex restaurants too. there's all these old clay houses and buildings that look like the ones in westerns. it's really amazing. though the walmart looks just like every other fucking walmart.

managed to figure out that most everything of importance to me is on 2 main roads - cerrillos rd and st. michael's dr. the walmart. the college of santa fe. the whole foods grocery store. the downtown strip. and just a couple minutes away is a recreation center for showers and workouts. hurray!! i could stay here forever.
