Santa Fe, New Mexico, an Artists’ Mecca

Native Indian artists display their wares on blankets along the sidewalks of the plaza downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico.  While visiting our friends in Corrales, New Mexico, we took several day trips to Santa Fe.  I love this historic town!  The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture is a treasure, located on Museum Hill, it is informative, beautifully displaying the best of the traditional and contemporary Indian arts.  We also visited the Turquoise Museum in Albuquerque where I learned a huge amount about this colorful gemstone which is also my birthstone.  I love the culture, architecture, art, and history of this beautiful state.  Our stay was too short but satisfying.  We hope to return again before too long.
