We had 4 wonderful days in Sante Fe, NM.  This is our first visit and we have added it to our list of cities everyone should visit, especially if you love art and history.  We stayed at one of the historic hotels that surrounds the plaza.  The plaza was built in 1610 and that is where we started out walking tour with a docent from the Museum of History.  There must be a least 10 museums in Sante Fe and there was no way we would be able to see everything.  We concentrated on the historic area surrounding the plaza where many of the buildings have been there since the 17th century.  Besides history, we are interested in art.  Darcy says he likes art whereas I LOVE art and Sante Fe is filled with art.  There must be over 100 art galleries just in the historic area ans there is art in the hotels, restaurants, in the streets and parks.  For me a dream come true was visiting the Georgia O'Keefe Museum.  It was wonderful to see her art from her time in New York and then from hills of northern New Mexico.  The hills around Sante Fe are covered with trees and our last day we decided to hike there.  We were able to get high enough to see a panorama view of Sante Fe while being serenaded by cicadas. We had some outstanding dinners in Sante Fe in outdoor restaurants surrounded by trees, lights and more art.  Be will definitely be back to Sante Fe.  Then off to hike in Bryce Canyon, UT.
