Santa Fe, NM
Santa Fe is . . . . historic
Founded in 1610 as a Spanish colony, Santa Fe is the oldest capital city (over 400 years old!). The downtown is a twist of small streets with glimpses of very old architecture.
 |
| Don't think this is particularly old - but I do like the pueblo style that's everywhere! |
Also, a fabulous center for the arts . . .
Santa Fe boasts over 250 art galleries and is the 3rd largest art market in the US. And don't even get me started on the restaurants!!

| Sazon Restaurant - yummm! (4-star restaurant) |

| Sazon exterior |
And, it's hard to beat the climate
At 7,000 feet elevation, the summers are not extremely hot, winters are chilly but average 3-4" of snow per month in the winter. Most importantly, Santa Fe can boast over 320 days of sunshine each year!!!
Colour me impressed!
I like the art, the sun, the history, the architecture, the mountain and desert views; I can tolerate the cactus. I'm even impressed by the selection of license plates!
