Yeah, the frontier is great!!! Cinamon rolls are good... I am down here for an internship this summer at SNL. How was Petroglyph Natl Mnmt? I went to chaco canyon last year, and also the VLA down by soccorro, that was very cool.

Places to go:
* definitely ride the tram up to Sandia Peak and have dinner up there (crappy food, great view) or at least watch the sunset and enjoy the view.
* Go to santa fe.
* Check out historic Old Town. Kinda neat.
* Explore northern New Mexico. It's beautiful, especially this time of year.
* San Juan river for trout fishing.

food:
* Try El Patio just south of the University (i think it's on Harvard or Yale, forgot which).
* Green chile stew at the Frontier...yummy. I'm craving for that as we speak.
