Albuquerque and Santa Fe New Mexico

We spent the day in the charming town of Santa Fe exploring the old town area with all the terracotta coloured adobe buildings. It was jam packed with sculptures and art galleries so we got our fix of culture which was great. I also got a taste of the mexican culture and the Native American culture. I could have bought everything I saw (disclaimer - if I was rich) as the jewellery, art and crafts were all amazing. Three artists I particularly fell in love with were Frank Howell, Fabio Napoleoni and Gustave Baumann.

We also were able to see a show on cowboy boots which was great to see the craft behind it and some fab art versions, like Anne Noggles, plus some stories of the people who love them.

They love their chilies so you see them hanging up to dry everywhere and the food is HOT HOT HOT!

We also kinda got to see Georgia O'Keefes work as we saw a few in the General museum as her named one was closed.

We then went back to Albuquerque to explore their old town also interesting and then for more mexican food for dinner - note to self always eat half what they serve as it is almost impossible not to over eat mexican as it is sooooooo good.
