Anyone Ever Been to New Mexico?

[Catsmeow]

BibleBoy: I like Catholics. I also am speaking some Spanish and getting better all the time-

but health considerations may become a very serious stumbling block now....

[BibleBoy]

Your right Cats,I guess we should be nice to every Christian even if they're Catholic. Florida is not good to live in that's for sure and maybe New Mexico is good for your health [i've never been to NM.]

No offense to those who live in New Mexico but...oi. Apart from ski areas (such as Taos), from what I've seen of the state...I was very unimpressed. It's just...blah. Maybe I just saw some bad parts but most of what I saw was poverty level housing and deserts. It was depressing. I'm sure there are some good parts I just didn't see though.

btw..have you looked into Arizona? There's a place called Lake Havisu (sp?) City and it's really neat. They have the London Bridge there too.

Well, I live in Colorado, and its not as cold as many people think. Right now it's in the 70s or so. I really think you'd like it, but Denver is the 5th largest unsaved city in the US, so maybe not.

Anyway, NM isn't as good as people think. I've been there, and I wan't impressed. My reccomendation is actually Touscon, Az. It has some good churches, BEUTIFUL scenery, and LOTS of palm trees (seeing as your from Florida). The only bad thing is that in the summer it's EXTREMELY hot and dry, but it's probably not much better in NM. Also the crime rate is pretty bad, since it's so close to the border. But it's better than New Mexico in my opinion.

Well, Lake Havasu is pretty, but not recommended, unless you like 120f in the summer! ugh. Tucson is over 100 in the summer also. For AZ I'd pick other places with more climate variety.

But I also still think Albuquerque wouldn't be bad idea.

May the Lord direct your path.

Wow...you guys are making me want to move to the desert

It sounds like you should try Palm Springs CA then. It's everything you're looking for Cats....not sure how "pricey" it is though.

New Mexico is nice...maybe it's more affordable in the Red River Valley or just north of the border in Pelosa Springs Colorado. That's a short distance from Sante Fe.

I spent the summer in New Mexico the year I was 15. (Rio Rancho in Albequerque). It seemed like a great place to live - very dry (even when it was hot, it wasn't really hot, if you know what I mean) and just beautiful - the mountains in the background (I think they were called the "Sangria" mountains, not sure). Not sure if there is winter there, but I don't think so. Hey, anyplace that has no winter is paradise IMO.

Catsmeow,

I too am also a New Mexico resident. Fairly nice place, one would suppose just depends on one's location. After all, home is where the heart is, no?

With Love In Christ,

Hi,Cats,

Praise God for all the wonderful things He's done! Heard y'all might moving to New Mexico. Dosen't NM have a lot of Catholics?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes it does. But I'm more afraid of the Evangelicals.

Yes the Sandia mountains. Ah, good thing not Sangria. Instead of the state of Enchantment, we'd be the state of Spirit.

And not the good kind!
