旅行達人

Spent the entire day figuring out the itinerary of the New Mexico trip--one of the five trips I am having this summer! This particular one is going to be very interesting since it has a bit of everything: from ancient (100 A.D) ruins of human civilization to astronomical radio observatories; from colorful crystalized caves burried deep underground to dried ocean filled with tiny white crystals; from unique Spanish style churches to dwelling places built on cliffs... my mind has already flown there just by imagination...
