This year on the 3rd of January me and my boyfriend went on a trip to New Mexico, during the Winter break from School.
Being tedious planners more for me than him , we planned it for more than a month, with the budget, both of our school and work schedules, we finally decided on 3rd January 2020.
Today I would like to share some photos of the journey. I must mention that we traveled via car which is common here in the States. Learnt about it right after a few days I reached here. Going forth with the journey-
We booked an Airbnb space in Rio Rancho before hand. Never having lived in an Airbnb we were both worried. But it was a good deal and within budget.
It took us almost 12 hours via I-40 W, travelling through Missouri,Oklahoma , Texas and finally New Mexico. We started at around 5 in the morning and since it was winter, the sunrise did not take place for at least the next two hours. Vast open lands in Texas and few houses here and there through Missouri and Oklahoma was what we saw through the journey. Once we entered the borders of New Mexico the scenic view altered a bit with snow covered mountains.

Here are some of the photographs I clicked while he was driving.

It was a miniature figurine in one of the gas stations in Oklahoma and I clicked it because it was really interesting.

This was somewhere in Texas. Unfortunately, I have a poor memory, so do not actually remember where exactly in Texas.

This photograph was taken when we reached the periphery of New Mexico, you know where you start seeing the sign boards of New Mexico University :-).


The reason behind me clicking most or all the pictures dear friends is because I cannot drive :-(. Anyways these photographs were clicked when we were close to the city of Albuquerque.

I have traveled that road myself in times past. I now have the good fortune of living in SE Colorado, only about 15 miles from New Mexico and travel down there often. The landscapes there never fail to amazed me. Hope you were able to get to Santa Fe and to the Georgia O’ Keeffe Museum. Post more pics.
