April is the most beautiful time to visit Santa Fe, with cool crisp mornings and warm lazy afternoons. Only no one was lazy the last two days. We got in our steps visiting the sites, strolling around the adobe buildings in historic old town, and, of course, walking from restaurant to coffee shop to bar back to restaurant again.
One of my favorite sites is Loretto Chapel, erected in 1873 in the style of Saint Chapelle in Paris. It really is a calm and inspiring place to rest and contemplate how lucky we are to be alive right now.
Charlotte deep in thought in front of the double helix spiral stairs, which are said to be made with only wood and wooden pegs by an itinerant carpenter who appeared in town, took six months to build the stairs, and the immediately left without payment.
Most of the day was much less sacred. We climbed all around Meow Wolf for hours. You can learn about it at www.meowwolf.com. Here we are enjoying sopaipillas, fried dough pillows with honey.
