Santa Fe has long been a bucket list destination for me.  Literally some 25 years now. From the first time I saw Mary Emmerling mixing chintz and kilim and turquoise and blue willow in her historic adobe home there the idea was planted firmly in my mind. Then, of course, there is Georgia OKeefe. And Willa Cather. And Ansel Adams.  Well dear reader, I got there finally and it did not disappoint.  It was a short visit and my feet were throbbing by the end from trying to cover as much ground as possible. 

If you've read Death Comes for the Archbishop (and I have not but am about to) then you may remember the fictionalized account of the Cathedral of Santa Fe.  I thought you might enjoy a peek. We can start here…

“Either a building is part of a place or it is not. Once that kinship is there, time will only make it stronger.”
― Willa Cather, Death Comes for the Archbishop
