Santa Fe

We rented an Airbnb near the Old Plaza so we could park the truck and walk around. Santa Fe is a really nice town that clearly has a lot of wealth, the streets are lined with pricey galleries and shops. We enjoyed meeting the local Indians peddling jewelry on the Plaza. They were very friendly and inquisitive about where we were from. They were impressed we showed up in a vehicle from such a great distance ( most tourists fly here ). They were primarily members of the Pueblo tribe.

This is one of the more expensive places we’ve visited, the moderate climate, beautiful architecture, and scenery have attracted quite an upscale group, this is a great place to visit but not cheap.

I’ve included a photo of our Adobe near Albuquerque with its huge old Cottonwood tree shading the walled yard. Our Santa Fe Adobe has a wonderful private walled courtyard too. We’ve really enjoyed the South Western organic architecture, the Adobes seem to blend in so nicely to their surroundings with their ever present earth tone colors. They seem to be snug and warm, and they tell us cool in the summer. The structures would never survive our Vermont winters and wet summers.
