Santa Fe is a beautiful town and the colors were peaking! It is a wonderful walkable city full of shops, museums and restaurants in a Spanish-Colonial style and is a National Historic Landmark.
The Cathedral Basilica of St Francis Assisi built in 1714.
Red Chili pepper bunches called ristras are found adorning many shop corners and doorways. They signify "welcome" and are especially prevalent around harvest and the holidays.
One of the amazing restaurants we ate at in New Mexico! Yum! The green and red Chile sauce and southwest cuisine was a favorite of all!
The Loretto chapel
and the
Miraculous Staircase
It rises 20 feet to the choir loft and and does so without the support of a central pole.
The Sisters of Loretto deemed this a miracle and credited St. Joseph for the construction.
San Miguel Chapel
The is the oldest known Catholic Church in the continental United States. Originally built in 1610. Although it has undergone many structural changes it is said that parts of the original walls still stand and religious services are still held here as well.
The Oldest House
De Vargus Street House
It is decorated to how it might have appeared at that time.
Indigenous Peoples Day brought many vendors and street performers to the plaza. It was fascinating and entertaining watching the hoops dancers perform to drums and chants.
Meow Wolf had to be the most intense and trippy museum experience ever. It was an immersive art experience through House of Eternal Return. It was a maze unlike anything we have experienced walking through fireplaces and refrigerators to other portals trying to solve clues and follow the story. There is over 70 rooms of mind-blowing art of multiple media.
