Sante Fe

 

Sante Fe. Went to Georgia O'Keeffe's house. She transformed an old peublo into a beautifully understated living space. She had an interesting taste for interior decorating, mixing elements of the natural world with contemporary design. Sadly, we couldn't take any photographs, but let's just say the experience made me want to leave home and find my own decrepit New Mexican adobe home to refurbish.

We saw a beautiful gorge (much bigger than Queche), part of the Rio Grande river, the "echo" dome and downtown Sante Fe. We also visited a peublo that is still occupied by native americans. They have a bunch of little shops set up to make some money off of the tourists that come to see their home. I stopped at a tea house and was invited to come sit by the fire. There was a little kitten in a kitty bed next to the fire that I started to pet...adorable. The family that ran the tea house was very nice and talked to us for a little while. I ordered a caramel apple cider. Yum!

We went to some amazing museums in the area. The coolest one was in this really old building called the Governor's Palace because the governor used to live there back in the day. It was a history museum about the southwest and New Mexico and it had some hella tight artifacts. My favorite things to look at were the wagons and the buggys. They also had a lot of wooden religious figurines of Christ being crucified and various saints. They have a very distinctive style to them.

Anyway here are some pictures of the landscape. Enjoy!
