Taos. Beautiful town high up in the mountains in NM, the touristy section
looked like it fell out of 1880. Great skiing.

Many years back, I flew from the San Francisco bay area to Las Vegas,
spending 3 days on the strip. Ate steak frites at a "french" brasserie with
an incredible wine list right on the strip. Rented a full-sized land barge
and drove through Nevada and Arizona on route 666 to the Grand Canyon, spent
some time on the south rim, toured an airport museum in the middle of
nowhere, then drove through New Mexico, Albuquerque for the balloon
festival, through indian territories, visited a couple of old indian
villages, then up to Taos for a night. Narrowly missed going to Los Alamos
and Roswell before committing a high-speed non-stop burn back to Vegas for
the flight home, the rental guys happy to take posession of a cooler full of
the remaining beers and sodas we'd had left.
