Santa Fe, NM
Today we drove the 13 miles into the town of Santa Fe. The first thing you notice is the Pueblo/Adobe style of all buildings (business and residential). They are even the same light brown color. The main town center of Santa Fe is mostly comprised of arts and craft shops as well as galleries, churches, and museums. There are many restaurants, cafes, and food shops of various assortments as you would come to expect from a tourist town. The area is rich in history and culture.
The famous Loretto Chapel with its mysterious spiral staircase....
Here is the spiral staircase. The mystery is that no one knows who constructed it, what type of wood was used, and how it supports itself....
Of course Santa Fe lies along the Santa Fe Trail....
The Basilica....
Street view of shops...
And more shops...
And more... Even a rooftop restaurant.
Santa Fe is a really neat town with lots to see and do, especially if you're into arts and museums. Also, the New Mexican cuisine is fantastic (and will light your fire).
