Santa Fe AGAIN

Philip and I had the opportunity to visit Santa Fe again thanks to Sue and Bob. They generously offered us their beautiful condominium in the heart of downtown.

While Philip worked, I explored. I really enjoyed the new exhibit at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. The exhibit explored the impact of photography on other art mediums such as painting. Even though the collection only contains a few O'Keeffe's it was well worth the visit.



The next day (while Philip worked) I went to the Museum of International Folk Art. It was wonderful! I could have stayed much longer than the two hours I spent. Fortunately, I got there just in time to catch a docent tour. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.






If I lived in a small Hungarian village, as my grandparents, my husband might have worn this to our wedding. And perhaps between my giggling, I might have been wondering just what he had up his sleeve. Where does that expression come from?



These are typical wedding hats for the bride. Just to be sure the village remembers that you are married, you would wear this hat for months or even as long as a year. My Hungarian grandparents married in the United States in attire typical to the period.



Delightful mural, downtown Santa Fe.



Once again we sampled some of Santa Fe's finest restaurants, and once again we were happily patting our round bellies. Do try Santacafe, Cafe Pasquals and Aqua Santa.
