I am left wondering this morning why someone would go through that much trouble to escape a wedding. I guess since it was such a huge wedding, it called for a huge, elaborate escape.
I know of a pair of sisters I went to school with down here in Georgia, who both now live in Albuquerque, and chose so randomly. I myself lived in Albuquerque before adolescence. I enjoyed it there, as I'm sure my schoolmates do. Why would a resident talk down such a great city?
With the exception of the southern direction, Albuquerque is surrounded by mountains, and always has a beautiful sky. It's hot in the summer, and snows in the winter. It's a complete metropolis with flash floods and gang members. It hosts the most-photographed event in the world, the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. There's also a historic district where local jewelers lay out their goods on the sidewalks, peddling mainly turquoise necklaces and pendants.
That's just from my memory. I think there's a pretty good university there, too.
Just don't put one of my towns in the dirt. Even Bugs Bunny passed through Albuquerque.
