I've just seen you gave me a upvote on one of my posts, so i was curious to see who you are. About two years ago i lived in Tucson/Arizona, and i also went to Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Your post just made me smile and sweet remember comes alive. Thank you!
PS: I am sure i am the only one in my bavarian village who knows how to pronounce and spell "Albuquerque" well.
