back in 2007 Linda and I took a long driving vacation, to see some sights, visit some family, and check out some possible places for later retirement. we spent a week in Santa Fe and Albuquerque, a few days in Cheyenne, WY.
we knew we wanted to move to the mountain west, but wanted to get a feel for those places.
ABQ - too crowded, not enough mountain flavor. Cheyenne - too flat.
so we ended up here in Santa Fe. we hadn't checked out this end of the area, but a few years later i came out to look for a house, we had narrowed things down by searching online ahead of time, and found the place i'm at now.
it wasn't perfect, needed a shitload of work and money into it, and we spent about 8 years fixing things up, one room at a time.
