Next Stop after balloons – Santa Fe !!
Santa Fe is a wonderful place to be, with its adobe buildings, sagebrush vegetation, Mexican cuisine, beautiful old churches, art galleries, and shopping (especially for jewelry and southwest theme items). After the Balloon Festival I drove (1 hour) to Santa Fe from Albuquerque to stay for a couple of days at the tranquil (and I highly recommend) St Francis Hotel, conveniently located in the heart of the Historic Plaza Square area. The Plaza area is always a fun place to stroll. I am enjoying every aspect of this city and I even tried something brand new – a Blue Corn Tortilla Pancake. Yes, it was blue and it was great! I also especially like to stroll with my camera and look for those perfect “Santa Fe” shots….
