My first post on Santa Fe was on the first couple days we spent in town. Thematically, I didn’t see a neat way to divide up the remaining photos, so here is everything else, chronologically. The big event during our week there was the blizzard that hit Tuesday afternoon and paralyzed much of the city, … Continue reading Santa Fe, Part Two: Shit Gets Real
I spent a week around Santa Fe last month.
