One of the best things about getting out of town is seeing and trying and doing new things. That couldn't be more true for our recent trip to Santa Fe. It was an amazing get away for many reasons – but mostly because neither of us had ever been there. After just a short plane ride, you're thrown into the middle of a dramatically different landscape, with wonderful art, food and culture.
Central to any travel - in our book at least - is food, food, food. We missed the famous chile cheeseburger at Bobcat Bite - so we already have an excuse to go back. But not to worry - our hotel turned us onto several wonderful meals - all within walking distance from the town square. First there was the unbelievable chile relleno (stuffed with quinoa and mushrooms) at Santacafe. The next night we were literally fighting over bites at La Boca. In the end, Aqua Santa turned out to be just the perfect spot to celebrate our anniversary. Perfectly cozy and intimate, the food was terrific and our server Whitney was hilarious and wonderful at the same time.
I think our favorite time was spent strolling the many galleries on Canyon Road. Lots of good, bad, and curious art.
And quintessential landmarks to see in a quick day-trip to Taos.
Of course O'Keefe chose to paint the back of the church. It's the most interesting part. (And surprisingly RIGHT off of the main road.)
Above the desert... forests of aspens overlooking Santa Fe. Gorgeous.
