The first leg of our journey took us from Denver, Colorado to Santa Fe, New Mexico. I love Adobe architecture and possibly took too many pics of it!! We went off the beaten path and found an amazing chapel on a hill, built of adobe bricks and lodge poles in 1688.

Song is “Lights of Santa Fe” by Eliza Gilkyson

Santa Fe lies in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the foothills of the Rockies. The ancient Indians who settled here thousands of years ago,the Spanish colonists who established a frontier town circa 1610 and the millions of visitors today understand that Santa Fe is a magical place. Back in 1912, in recognition of the city’s unique heritage, officials enacted laws requiring that structures be built in historic Pueblo Revival and Territorial architectural styles. Outside Magazine recently chose Santa Fe as one of the 30 Best Towns in America. It is one of the 1,000 places to see before you die.

Alice Waters at the Santa Fe, NM Farmer’s Market on October 13th, 2007. This was for a book signing of her book “The Art of Simple Food: Notes and Recipes from a Delicious Revolution”. This event was co-sponsored by the Santa Fe Farmers Market and Collected Works Bookstore. Proceeds from book sales will benefit the Santa Fe Farmers Market. A special thanks to Deborah Madison, a famous food writer and local, to ask Alice to come. It was a pleasure meeting two inspiring women!
