It’s funny how fast this trip changed from a summer to a winter trip. Feels like we just skipped the fall season. This was the Red Mountain Pass the highest point we reached while driving the Million Dollar Highway, people were already skiing😭

The Million Dollar Highway omg🏔️
We’re now about to drive the Million Dollar Highway. We’ve been told it’s one of the most famous, spectacular and also dangerous roads in the United States. I’m excited! 🇺🇸

It's crazy yesterday we were driving through the desert in New Mexico and now we're up in the mountains of Colorado at a ski resort. It's incredible how quickly the landscape changes here.

THE FIRST SNOW OF THE TRIP!!!❄️❄️❄️
We are in Sante Fe, NM. Never thought we’d find a city like this in America. It reminds me a bit of Morocco with all the beautiful architecture and narrow streets. Such a beautiful town!
But you can definitely feel the 7,000 feet of elevation. The air is pretty thin up here.

On to the next adventure. Wherever that may be. 🇺🇸
Alright that’s it for us in Albuquerque!
I feel like I say this every time we leave a place but once again we met so many incredible people here.
Today we also tried some New Mexican food at The Frontier which pretty much everyone we met recommended to us. It was really good!
We also checked out the UNM campus and today was the first day where it actually felt like fall. The wind, the cooler weather and the trees losing their leaves. With the mountains in the background Albuquerque really is a cool city and we enjoyed our time here a lot!

First college basketball game of the trip! UNM vs Arizona State.
It’s a preseason game so the arena isn’t full but we’ve been told that during the regular season this is one of the loudest arenas in the country.

The UNM game last night was such a cool experience and made us think that we might actually prefer games in smaller stadiums.
The atmosphere feels more personal and you keep running into the same people over and over again. At the tailgate, in the stadium, after the game at Raising Cane’s.
Obviously the experience in those huge 80,000+ stadiums is hard to beat but these smaller venues have their own charm too.
And the atmosphere last night was really good as well!

INTERCEPTION AND TOUCHDOWN LOBOS!!!!! LET’S GOOOOO!!!!!!🐺🐺
Love all the different traditions these college teams have in their stadiums!
Tailgating might just be the best thing ever!
It‘s gameday here in New Mexico!!!! Finally some cooler weather and such a welcoming atmosphere. So many cool people here!
We are back in our favorite place in America. Fairhope, Alabama 🇺🇸
Last time we only had one evening here. This time we’re staying a few days to relax and enjoy some sunsets over the Gulf.

Alright, first college game experience done. We definitely made some beginner mistakes, like arriving way too late for tailgating (sorry to everyone whose tailgate we didn’t make it to). Staying 50 minutes away from the college town probably wasn’t our best idea either.
Definitely something we need to do better next game. Other than that, it was quite a surreal experience. I don’t really know what I can compare it to. It’s completely different from European sports culture. It’s really just a big party the whole day. In Germany, we don’t have university sports, so seeing how huge it is here is quite hard to comprehend.
Can’t wait for the next game next week already!
