[Aurel]

I moved to Albuquerque, NM six months ago. Not as a retiree, but working here has been very pleasant. The weather is very very nice, typically 90 in summer, 70 in fall, 50 in winter, 80 in Spring, very dry most the time. Beautiful sunsets and thunderstorms. The city has a small old town feel to it. Awesome fly fishing and skiing few hours away. Housing can be pretty cheap if you are not looking at the best school districts. The place has lots of old cars too (VW bugs, citroen DS, longhood 911s...). Great for biking and hiking (everybody is out in the morning exercising). Hot air balloon fiesta is going on right now.
