________________________________________________________________ ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO: LAND OF ENCHANTMENT! http://www.aace.org/conf/Cities/Albuquerque/aboutalbu.htm
Albuquerque is a place where the views go on forever. From the Sandia Mountains you can look out over 15,000 square miles of magical landscape. And to the west, the Rio Grande snakes its way through the cottonwood-lined valley, silhouetting dormant volcanoes against fiery red sunsets.
Albuquerque's beguiling balance of big city convenience and rural charm has something of lasting value for everyone. Here the Old West meets the new frontier. Sip a malt on Route 66, try on some cowboy boots, watch an unforgettable sunset, take a tram ride, hike the Sandias, revisit the great atomic past or tour the silicon future. Delight in the dizzying blend of shops, industry, culture, arts and entertainment.
From the Sandias in the east to the dormant volcanoes out west, up and down the river, you'll be seduced by Albuquerque's rich character, mild weather, and unique place in history. In a city that's unpretentious and accessible, friendly and easy to negotiate, you'll enjoy our beautiful mountains, spiritual history, cultural diversity, urban funkiness, dynamic commerce and great blue
