Albuquerque crime....

[keopeli]

14. Here's a little perspective from a local - you'll be just fine!

I went to college in LA during the Rodney King Riots and volunteered in Watts. I lived in Moscow, Russia during the putsch in 1991. I've had guns pointed at me in Brussels and I've watched a man shot dead on the streets of Westwood, the victim of cross-fire during a gang war.

Santa Fe and Albuquerque are full of very friendly people (except when they're behind the wheel, for some odd reason). If you resist the urge to drive into the Southwestern side of the Duke City at night, you'll feel safe the whole time you're here.

The rewards for your fearless journey into our neighborhood will be the stunning mountains, the endless desert floor, the biodiverse bosque, the vestiges of a volcanic era, and the most awe-inspiring skyscape you'll ever see.

Did I mention the sunsets?

See you soon!
