One of the first stops on our road trip was Santa Fe. It is always one of our favorites because of its rich cultural heritage. The plaza, pleasant with its shade trees, musicians, and food carts, is a nice place to stroll and people watch. We grabbed a quick taco from the food cart and spent an hour on a bench watching the tourists.
The architecture is reminiscent of pueblo style, using rough beams and stuccoed walls. Visiting there gives one a feeling of being somewhere different--unique and not like most American cities.
One one side of the Plaza is the Palace of the Governors where Native Americans display their jewelry and other handmade wares.
The city also has many Hispanic residents, and there is a strong flavor of things Mexican--in the food and decor.
Our major quest on this trip was looking for golden aspen---so we didn't stay here long--just a quick visit to remember times past.

I'm making a nuisance of myself but you keep writing of things I am familiar and places I have often been. We once stayed a week at the old La Fonda Inn in Santa Fe. I have shot dozens of rolls in that area and just north of there. I promise not to bore and will give you some breathing space. You write a nice blog.
