In January I left on a road trip to visit the West coast, LA in particular. I didn't have an itinerary or plans of any sort, no real route planned out to get there, I just packed up the car and left Ohio. I had already quit my job earlier, and put everything in storage, and had no desire to stick around for another brutal midwest winter. So I headed in a southwesterly direction to hopefully warmer climates.
I didn't take a lot of pictures during the first half of my trip, as I wasn't planning on doing a travel blog, and mostly took the main highways and didn't see much worth noting. I wasn't an experienced traveler yet, and didn't really get off the beaten path or seek out novelty. Plus, the landscape was mostly flat, or farmland, and I was mainly just focused on driving out west.
But once I got into New Mexico, I started to appreciate how different the Southwest is, and I really liked the Santa Fe style architecture and adobe buildings.
It's really different from most parts of the US. Plus, I was glad to be in sixty degree weather around Albuquerque while the East coast and Midwest was getting buried in snow.
