Summer Vacation Ideas: Mix of culture, relaxing outdoors, stimulating environment: Best bang for the buck? |
Looking for vacation ideas: want something with a mix of culture (examples: art galleries, outdoor theater), relaxing outdoors (examples: sail boat ride, tour guided horse back trail ride), shopping (unique boutiques), fun dining (example: like bistros, tapas: not chains): Oh and best bang for the buck. Open to U.S. Canada, Europe, South America (if affordable and not hot). (No children with us.) Oh and easy to get around in English. Not sure on your location, but try New Mexico! Santa Fe is full of culture and history, very diverse boutiques, and even a few suprises, like the circular staircase in a church built with no nails! A short drive south would take you to Albuqerque full of lots of things to do and see, a large zoo and aquarium and gardens, museums, casinos and many exotic restaurants. A short drive north of Santa Fe would take you to Raton or Taos, also full of history and interesting shops and activities. I'm sure you can find horseback riding at any of these places. Weather here in NM is usually warm in summer (upper 80's to 90's) and no humidity. You can also drive south of Albuquerque a couple hours and go to Alamogordo where there is the White Sands missle range, where there are miles and miles of pure white sand,and a space museum; and south of there is Carlsbad Caverns, a massive underground natural cavern where you can see a bat show when bats exit the cave at night. (very impressive) Ruidoso has great shopping, horse-racing, and cabins to stay in. Also try looking up Inn of the Mountain Gods...a beautiful place to stay! You can eat Green Chili - a treat you'll miss when leaving and a wide array of Spanish and Mexican food. It is very cross-cultured here, a melting pot if you will. Sorry to ramble, but I live in New Mexico and it's widely forgotten as a vacation destination. It's also more fitting if your're shoppping for a budget vacation with lots of diversity. It's beautiful and the scenery from the North end (forests) to the South end (desert) there is much to discover. (sorry, that sounded like a commercial!) Good Luck! 1)Switzerland (3 different cultures) 2)French Riviera and Northern Italy Napa Valley, Ca. Vancover, BC Montreal, PQE Savanah, Ga Cape Cod, Ma |
