Hey Santa Fe

I had always wondered about the state of New Mexico so am very happy to finally see it. It's just not a state you hear about too often. Now I know why! There's a whole lot of nothingness out there, with Santa Fe acting like an oasis. Santa Fe itself is amazing! Very beautiful. I kinda feel like I'm in Mexico, only everyone has money and there's no one begging me to buy chicle.

Daniel drove me up Canyon road yesterday (2/6), which is where all the art galleries are, along with some great pueblos. We looked in about 10 of the galleries. I liked some of the art, but of course didn't understand some of the pieces. After that, he dropped me off back downtown so I could do some shopping. Everything is very expensive and I don't like turqouise, so didn't buy much of anything. People are very friendly . . . maybe today I'll just hang a sign around my neck that states, "I'm from Portland. I am here for a vacation. Yes, it is beautiful!"

Oh, I came up with my million dollar idea, although my cousin shut it down. . . . colored deoderant! You know how the white deoderant gets on your black shirt? Well, why not make the deoderant black in the first place!!! Problem solved! But as Max pointed out . . . your armpit would then be stained black. Oh, minor setback! :)
