Many of you may know and some may not but my home town is Albuquerque, New Mexico. I was born and raised here and currently work for the Albuquerque Convention and Visitors Bureau. I am proud to call Albuquerque my home!! This afternoon our office has teamed up with the City of Albuquerque to "Keep Albuquerque Beautiful" This entails all of us going out and cleaning up a part of town. Although this task is not the most glamorous I am happy I am able to pitch in and make our city look its best.
There are so many misconceptions about Albuquerque and why it is "beautiful" many don't understand how a city in the middle of the desert is beautiful, and some are not even aware we are in the United States. To help answer some of your questions here are five reasons I find Albuquerque Beautiful
1. Our sunsets will beat any sunset anywhere hands down
2. We have some of the most beautiful mountains called the Sandia Mountains. Sandia in spanish means Watermelon. They are called the "watermelon"mountains because they turn a pretty pink during sunset.
3. The desert may not be the prettiest in some areas but our desert is different. There are cactus that bloom beautiful flowers there are different plants that grow in the area such as the Yuccu.
4. Not only does the scenery make Albuquerque beautiful the food makes Albuquerque Beautiful our locally grown green and red chili makes and authentic New Mexican Food makes Albuquerque what it is.
5. Finally one of my favorite parts of Albuquerque that makes it so beautiful is our Hot Air Balloons. Almost every morning if you look to the west you will see a sky colored by the balloons flying above. Every October we host the largets International Balloon Fiesta it is defnietly a site to see.
These are just some reasons why I find Albuquerque Beautiful!! I would love to hear why everyone thinks there city is beautiful please share!!
Have a blessed day!!
