All of these heard at the Santa Fe/Taos/NM state tourist info center and/or various hotels in New Mexico (and these are all from anglo-american citizens):

Do I need a passport?

Do I need to change my American dollars for peso and what is the exchange rate?

At what elevation do deer become elk? (honest to the goddess this is a true question)

Is there electricity and running water?

Can you drink the water?

Is there an airport?

Are all the roads paved? (actually there are lots of dirt roads)

Exactly where is New Mexico? (it's the state between texas and arizona, then tourist says with an incredulous voice: there's a state between Tx and Az?????)

Are there cattle drives through town?

Will we see cowboys on horseback in town? (actually I can take you to the Mora (population about 300 or so) and you will see cowboys on horseback and hitching posts with horses attached)

Do Indians still attack white people? (for real)

What language is spoken....do I need an english to spanish dictionary?

Can we take pictures of Indians if we see them? (depends....always ask first...at Taos Pueblo they will charge you 20 bucks to bring a camera into the Pueblo and I think it's $20 more to take pictures...laughin....)

Do the Indians who sells jewelry on the Santa Fe Plaza take dollars? Do they speak English?

Nice to see the results of all that money we spend on education.
