A day in Santa Fe. First stop was the International Museum of Folk Art. There was a gallery dedicated to Ukraine (for example, someone covering all the outdoor statues, etc. to try and protect them.) I like the Mexican stuff, as I like the aesthetic of Day of the Dead.
A quick round American’s oldest house.
“The De Vargas Street House, often referred to as the Oldest House, is a historic building in Santa Fe, New Mexico, which is often said to be one of the oldest buildings in United States. The original date of construction is unknown but the majority of the building is believed to date to the Spanish colonial period".” — Wikipedia
A walk around the main plaza, and some food (Jane a spinach and cheese quiche, me a croque monsieur. Jane won.)
I did some people watching.
Then back to to the San Miguel Chapel as the director Laurianne said when it closed at 3pm I could record the 789 pound San Jose Bell (added to the bell tower in 1856 and now on display in the Chapel) to make a virtual instrument with.
“San Miguel Chapel, is a Spanish colonial mission church in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Originally built around 1610, it is often referred to as the oldest church building in the continental United States. The church was rebuilt twice, once in the mid to late 17th century, and again in 1710 following the Pueblo Revolt.” — Wikipedia
To the hotel.
