ALBUQUERQUE. It was hard for me to walk around there a lot, because the altitude in Albuquerque is high and my breath was getting louder with every step. Also, there were not many bright lights on at night. I always needed a friend on my side to hold his/her arm because of my night blindness - which was totally fine. Always happy about helpful friends!
One day I drove up to the Sandia Peak by tram. After a 15 min ride I arrived at 10,378' height. Rare air but a wonderful view over Albuquerque. And I have never seen a sky as blue (favorite color!) as in New Mexico!
Further I drove to Santa Fe, the capitol city of NM - with even higher altitude than Albuquerque. As I would be way too exhausted to see a lot there while walking around, I did a road trip with a friend. Lazy me. The combination of mountains and little mud houses was fantastic. Especially the Canyon road with all its different art galleries was really, really pretty!
