Santa Fe

/ Ed Lehner / 2 Comments

We had a delightful trip to Santa Fe, NM last week end where we took in two operas at the Santa Fe Opera and visited the Botanical Gardens. We did a stop at Georgia O’ Keeffe’s Ghost Ranch on the way home.

Las Palomas (The Doves), always our favorite place to stay.
Some of the artwork on the hotel site.

The Opera the night we saw Carmen. We saw Falstaff two nights before. Yes, it is open air.
The stage.
The iconic Pedernale from Ghost Ranch, the subject of several O’ Keeffe paintings.
Huge old Cottonwood trees at the ranch.

We usually got to Santa Fe twice a year, but with Covid it has been about three years. Santa Fe is truly a magical place as is most all of New Mexico. The Hispanic and native Pueblan cultures, not to mention the landscape, take you to another place. And the food is wonderful.
