There are a lot of people who unfortunately don't like Santa Fe. Some hate the architecture(like my sister, it's ok I didn't like it either until I moved here), some hate the fact that it's small and doesn't have as many options as a bigger city, and others just don't like the arid southwestern climate.

I LOVE SANTA FE! Truthfully, the only place I would trade it for at this stage in my life would be Florida. A few months after we moved here, Mike and I and the kids went on a walking tour of Santa Fe and learned so much about its history, and all the fights for the Palace of the Governors, the romantic history of art and love affair that artists have with the area, it all solidified how Mike and I feel about this city.

The full name of Santa Fe is actually The Royal Village of the Holy Faith of St. Francis of Assisi. But of course it is in Spanish.... Therefore I like to joke about living in the Royal Village. Wouldn't be it so cool if there were royalty here still? Anyway, I just love this place, and I love the fact that it's a resort town. It makes me feel like I live on an eternal vacation, especially during the summer when the crowds descend upon us.

This year we are celebrating Santa Fe's 400th birthday. Check out the website for more information:

Ohhhh my... Are you bitter because I didn't move to SF last year because I was waaaay too far away from graduating, and didnt want to pay out-of-state tuition at UNM and didn't want to commute to ABQ from SF? Please don't... You know I grew up wanting to be an architect so I actually do like the architecture there, but dreaming about moving there I didn't like the idea of renting (obviously) or purchasing a home that is old and overpriced... That's my only SF opinion that is enough to make it so I never move tehre. That's all! ;)
ReplyDeleteBTW - I love the pics and I had a ton of fun at the plaza during the band something-or-another for the 400th year celebration the other day we were there!
