New Mexico
This is Mollie, my best American friend.

She is currently a sophomore at TU, studies International business and Russian :-) and is going to Russia this summer (brave girl!)

Mollie is from New Mexico. For Thanksgiving break she took me there, to show me beautiful places and meet with her parents.
I can't beleive it, but the first time I tried to ride a horse in my life was in the USA, as if we don't have them at home!

It was very exciting new experience :-)
I still remember old Bart, who was even older than I am (27 years old...)

Because New Mexico is on a very high latitude, clouds here are really low.

And when you drive, you feel like being on board of an airplane: your ears are pumped...

Ooo! This is me and my friends yuccas.
This is a national plant of NM and it grows everywhere. I think they look a kind of interesting and pretty.
So I couldn't resist to get a picture with them :-)
Once we went to Albuquerque - this is a town to the north of NM. And there we climb at the top of Sandia Peak. Oh, my Gosh! It was SO scary to be in this tiny tramway, that was shaked by strong blows of wind. I didn't think we would ever come back from this place. Wind was just crazy at the top, you couldn't stay outside. But view was SO beautiful!
The other day we went to Ruidoso.
While we were driving, we noticed this indian guy outside. It was a Gallery of Dave McGary. When we got inside, we were amazed by his works! Everything looked SO real, but was done out of... bronze!!!
Everything!!!

If you want to get a light idea what it was like, you can check it out here...
