Tenth Stop - Santa Fe, NM

Santa Fe, NM – Ah, Santa Fe, this little town in northern New Mexico is always a popular destination. Adobe houses all over downtown, it gives you the feel that you have entered a different century and time just seems to pass a little slower than everywhere else.


We wandered around town exploring the many galleries on Canyon Road, had lunch and dinner at one of the many restaurants on the Plaza, and visited Americas oldest house and oldest church near the Old Santa Fe Trail.


A great place to relax and that’s what we did. Even if you try, you will not find a vibrant night life here. Most of the city closes down around 9:00 pm and you have to go buy Spagettios at Smith’s, if you want to have a midnight snack.

For those who are wondering, if we did the “must do” and went to Taos, the answer is no. We were (a) just too relaxed and comfortable in our little Inn on the Paseo and (b) were to by fellow travelers that it is just to worth the long drive at this time of the year. We heard about people complaining that Taos was too sleepy and that they needed to get back to Santa Fe for some “action”.
