I was planning on writing about Mexican food on my next blog - perhaps make some food, take a few photos, post it with some recipes - but things have been so crazy that I didn't get around to doing it and now I'm going to have to put it off for a few more weeks.
The reason for pushing back my blogs on Mexican food is due to our little mini-road-trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico this past weekend.
We have never been but have heard some great things about the place. The first "review" I got about Santa Fe was from an ex-colleague who went to the Opera festival that takes place each year. She explained that the town was full of art galleries and because she was a bit pretentious, I had an image about what to expect from the place and thought "Yes, I will go there one day, but I'm in no hurry". Luckily my husband had also heard some great things about the place and decided that we had to take the 6 hour drive down south form my birthday weekend.
I'm so glad he got this flash of inspiration and booked the hotel before I could throw a spanner in the works, because we had an awesome time.
Santa Fe is not pretentious at all, the town is great with interesting architecture, art galore (any kind that you can think of, paintings, jewellery, sculptures, etc), friendly locals, fabulous food and copious picture snapping opportunities. The town truly caters for everyone: the rich, the budget traveller and everyone in between.
glad to see you posting again!
