Santa Fe

We spent a few days in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was a second visit for both of us- and the novelty of the town had worn off. It actually was quite adorable- all the houses and building were adobe- in the Southwestern style (lots of pastels and Georgia O'Keefe paintings). They've managed to make the town a bit of a Southwestern Disney....everything was clean and had a SW theme- and it was VERY expensive. We were paying $15.00 for two margaritas and although the people watch was fairly amusing, it could get expensive to spend much time watching the scene. It was very artsy-fartsy- the entire town was filled with art galleries and exclusive clothing stores. Unfortunately, I wasn’t traveling with much of a shopper- so my shopping time was fairly limited. The entire square was filled with Indians (the American kind) selling their handmade wares on the sidewalk.

We took the city trolley tour and got to see a bit of the city as well as the out-lying residential areas.
