Santa Fe Side Trip

Santa Fe Inn and Motel

 A must do in New Mexico was to visit Santa Fe. Too cold this time of year for our RV. We left HaRVey in ABQ and took the Rail Runner  in the morning staying overnight at a quaint property in the historic downtown area.

Meow Wolfe

 Our first must do was Meow Wolf. A very unusual entertainment venue. Kinda like an exploratory amusement park. Over 100 artists designed rooms revealing parts of a story about a family that disappears and their portals to other worlds. How else can I describe how strange it was.

Gift Shop

Even the gift shop was a bit out there. New venues are coming to Las Vegas and Denver.

Georgia O'Keefe Gallery

Canyon Road Galleries

Other favorite stops included the Georgia O'Keefe collection of art works. Her studio near by wasn't currently open.

The Loretta Chapel staircase that had super natural stories associated with its creation.

Plus a visit to the many beautiful and creative galleries along Canyon Road.

Loretta Chapel

Another newer developed area in Santa Fe was the railyard district, full of high end galleries, markets and  a brew pub. Evoke Gallery was my must do since they represent the estate of Louisa McElwain. I had seen her work online, a very impressive plein aire painter. She created huge paintings by strapping them to her truck along the roadside and painted using a long pole. They are dramatic and inspiring. So glad I got to see some of her work in person.

We finished up a wonderful visit with a delicious meal at one of Santa Fe's top restuarants Sazon. Thanks to a gift from my sister.

It's back to ABQ to start figuring out our exodus from the south west.
