Santa Fe, NM

SATURDAY MAY 14TH

SUNDAY MAY 15TH

Georgia O’Keefe Museum: small museum, but did a good job showcasing her work throughout her entire life
Santa Fe Plaza: full of great artsy shops
La Fonda Hotel: amazing lunch in the historic restaurant’s interior courtyard; probably the best sandwich I have ever had
New Mexico History Museum: I hardly knew anything about New Mexico, so there was a lot to learn
Palace of the Governors: Native American vendors program that supports local artists
Loretto Chapel: home of the miraculous staircase, which some say was built by St. Joseph; the staircase is 22 feet tall and makes a 360 degree turn with no visible supports
St. Francis Basilica Church
Blue Corn Brewery: mainly a restaurant, but they do brew their own beer
Second Street Brewery: smaller brewery in an industrial urban area that had live music; the food was also amazing: green chili burgers, clams, and crawfish

WEDNESDAY MAY 18TH

Bandelier National Monument: we were able to climb ladders and view into the cliff dwellings, which are called “caveats”
Palacio Cafe: small little place with good sandwiches and green chili stew
Canyon Road: Santa Fe is known for having tons of art galleries, and this is one of the main streets for them
Meow Wolf: it’s hard to describe, but simply put, it’s an interactive art exhibit
Tomasita’s: located in the Railyard Arts District, this huge restaurant was crazy busy, proof of how great the food was
