Welcome back. You belong here.
It was nice to drive through NM, AZ, CA, UT, CO in the last week or so, you see a lot of architecture. Probably the architecture I enjoyed the most was in Santa Fe, NM. The houses, new or old, all have the same Santa Fe look, and instead of being on a flat surface, they are on the side of a hill.
I was impressed how new homes all fit the look of this traditional city. It would be easy for a developer (and I'm sure many have tried), to change Santa Fe, to make it more Denver or LA. That would be crazy. Instead, there's a consistency to this city that is very attractive.
Have a great day,
Into the future,
