I never dropped LSD, but after a couple of hours in this interactive museum, I think I have a pretty good idea of what it was like. 😳

Meow Wolf’s first permanent installation, launched in March 2016 with support from Game Of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin, showcases the THEA Award-winning House of Eternal Return, where guests discover a multidimensional mystery house with secret passages, portals to magical worlds, climbing apparatus, and surreal, maximalist & mesmerizing art exhibits.

Located in the old railroad depot in the Railyard Arts District. A restaurant loved by locals. Had a combination plate which included posole (hominy not the soup) and the most light, airy and flaky sopapillas ever served with honey butter. Czytaj więcej

Set our alarm to get here shortly after the park opened. Had the trail mostly to ourselves for the hike up. Was getting busy on our way down. Gorgeous view. Worth the wait.

An amazing meal from start to finish! Beautiful presentation and perfect balance of tastes and texture. Service was impeccable without being condescending. Look forward to coming back on our next visit.

Met a lovely couple from Massachusetts. They treated us to a glass of grappa which we enjoyed over pleasant conversation. Love this town.

Fine dining in a 1756 adobe home
Warm and inviting, the elegant "Borrego House" was built by Geronimo Lopez in 1756. Thick adobe walls, kiva fireplaces and wood beams surround.

Geronimo is the recipient of the AAA Four Diamond and Mobil/Forbes 4 Star Awards. Voted Opentable "Top 100 Restaurants in the Country" Czytaj więcej

Much ado about nothing. Beautifully revitalized area but today just a few artisans with mediocre wears and various other shops. Imagine it’s much better on Saturdays when the rail-yard hosts Santa Fe’s local farmer’s market. Czytaj więcej

Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monumen
25 marca 2018, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
The cone-shaped tent rock formations are the products of volcanic eruptions that occurred 6 to 7 million years ago and left pumice, ash, and tuff deposits over 1,000 feet thick. Over time, weathering and erosion of these layers has created canyons and tent rocks.

Scratch that. Park was full. They were only letting someone in when someone left. We were over a dozen cars back. Will try again tomorrow. Czytaj więcej

Time for a nightcap. Smoked Sage Margarita, Orange Smoked Old Fashioned and Italian Mark At Secreto Cocktail Bar. The Orange Old Fashioned was brought to us by mistake. And the waitress gave us a Jerry Thomas Smash that a table of drunken 20 somethings denied ordering. Tasty and one of a kind cocktails.

Mmmmmmm! Czytaj więcej

Chilies are king in these parts. In restaurants they ask you do you want red or green chilie sauce.

Today’s class focused on Green Chilies. We made Green Chile Sauce, Roasted Tomatillo & Cilantro Sauce (my favorite), Poblano Mint & Tamarind Sauce and Corn Tortillas. Mmmmmm Czytaj więcej

Governor's Palace Artist's Market
24 marca 2018, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
The entire north side of Santa Fe's downtown plaza is taken up by the 1610 Palace of the Governors, the oldest continually occupied public building in the United States. Its front adobe facade is completely shaded, and in this "portal," the Native American Vendors Program has been operating for over six decades. A daily lottery ensures a rotating selection of artisans from the various pueblos throughout New Mexico.

Despite all the beautiful wares, we came away empty handed. Czytaj więcej

Hard to decide what to have for breakfast this morning. It all sounded delicious. Will have to come back.

I had the Yogurt Parfait. Layers of yogurt, homemade walnut pepita granola with dates and dried fruit and fresh seasonal fruit.

Brian had the Carnitas Plate - two eggs and pulled pork, topped with green chile and grilled onions. Served with tortilla, hash browns and beans. Czytaj więcej

Happenstance!
23 marca 2018, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ 🌙 7 °C
We were headed back to our hotel after watching the sunset from rooftop Bar Alto and happened to run into two friends, Mike and Cindy, from our foodie tour today. They had gone seeking frito pie for a late night snack. They’d gone to a store in town which had advertised frito pie “As seen on TV” but they were already closed. They were told to go to Del Charro. We joined them for frito pie, margaritas and some wonderful conversation. What a lovely way to end our day.

And coincidentally, a fun fact we learned today on our foodie tour was that Del Charro’s Bar was used in the series Longmire. Phhhhhhh! Czytaj więcej

Our 5th and final stop.

The company is focus is authentic and historic drinking chocolate elixirs that include traditional Pre-Columbian, Mesoamerican, Mayan and Aztec elixirs as well as 1600's European, Colonial American and Colonial Mexican drinking chocolate elixirs. The elixirs are representative of these historic recipes and span the time period 1000 BC to the mid-1900s AD.

Osteria D’Assisi takes pride in offering 100 percent Italian culinary treats by importing most of the ingredients from Italy. Italian food is among the most popular in the world, but what sets Osteria d'Assisi apart from the rest is their commitment to serving authentic Italian flavors as well as our passion for outstanding hospitality.” We ate in the private room upstairs that George Clooney reserves to entertain family and friends.

Santacafé
23 marca 2018, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Our 2nd stop.

The restaurant is in an 1850s house with a courtyard. The site originally housed a church as well as a brothel in the back that was being run by one of the reverends. When it was found out, the reverend was defrocked but turned adversity into opportunity and became a politician. The well outside in the courtyard had to be covered up for fear of it being poisoned due to the brothels proximity to the church. They dug another well inside, which is now exposed in the floor of the restaurant.

One of the most famous is Julia Staab, who lives in, or more correctly, haunts the upscale hotel, La Posada de Santa Fe Resort and Spa.”
