One appeal of the Southwest is the extremely dry climate (although cool air and rain seemed to travel with us). I'd be fine with never again driving through a dust storm (looking at you Arizona) or clouds dipping down from the sky dropping rain that hammered the rental car like pellets (sigh...still Arizona).
Walking around New Mexico was a treat to my mossy eyes, with the various cacti and succulents, oddly blooming things, curious rocks, little lizards, the occasional roadrunner (I finally saw one!).
I also ate the best pecan pie of my life, along with Hatch chiles in everything from tamales to pizza toppings, spicy pistachios, pecan chocolate caramel chews, and a fair amount of local beer. Oh and Pistol Pete rye.
