I hear the meth is some of the finest available in the world.

Congratulations! Very cool!

So, does this mean that you will be able to give us a heads-up if the threat level is about to change. That would be great...then we could...ummm...uhhhhhh.....know what the threat level will be before others do.

Pay no attention to (KSB). He has spent too much time in the sandbox.

Albuquerque is your typical southwest big city. Good and bad. Lots too do and great food. The bar scene is big because it's a college town.(UNM) New Mexico is an excellent outdoors state. Hunting, fishing, hiking, rafting the Rio Grande. Semi pro baseball. College sports(football, basketball..UNM..The Pit). Every year you get the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, one of the worlds largest hot air balloon festivals.(second week of October)Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta | Mass Happiness A must see if your here in time! It's cheap and fun. Bring a camera! Go to a morning event if you can.(special shapes)

You get the Gathering of Nations Powwow. http://www.gatheringofnations.com/front.htm

Lots to do!
Lots of entertainment.

The KiMo Theatre gets lots of country and rock bands.

Albuquerque is a high tech town. And a very old town.

I can confirm this. You're in for a real treat.

Drove through there 3 times.

Not much to report.

I was just told by a New Mexican friend that Sadie's and El Pinto are the two best Mexican restaurants in Albuquerque.

I believe that is a great recommendation. But one of many. :tongue2:

You hardly know that person. Do you have any Old Mexican friends?
