Wandering the streets of Santa Fe is a wonderful pass-time. So much to see and do. Museums, restaurants, shops and the beautiful mountain scenery coupled with the first breaths of autumn. What more could you ask?
Well, there's this - Got mail? Sure, the post office is just another couple of blocks north on Lincoln then across the street on Federal Place, and if you don't have a stamp it's the ...

The Monk's Corner is a great little shop at the corner of Alameda and Don Gaspar. As it supports the Monastary of Christ In The Desert in Abiqui, New Mexico, northwest of Santa Fe, the shop's offerings are unique.
There's handmade fudge, cookies and jams, books on spirituality, incense, silver work and art, such as lovely Hispanic retablos (religious plaques) painted by the Christ in ...

Yep, the Aztec Cafe is on Aztec Street.
This little cafe and comfort stop is a bit off the plaza, so pay attention here. Aztec is a street that runs between Guadalupe and Sandoval Streets. If you use the plaza as a starting point you can get there by taking West San Francisco off the plaza going west a couple of blocks where you'll run into Sandoval Street. Turning left ...

  This is one fun restaurant, just a block south of the plaza on Water Street (103 E.) adjacent to Pasqual's and The Hemp store. It's comfortable, offers patio as well as inside dining and most items on their menu come in under $10. It's pretty much American food with local New Mexican fare thrown in. Be sure to check out their mosaic tiled wood oven ...

Are you the kind of person who likes to travel - shop, visit museums, see shows, go skiing, etc., then looks for more - maybe something to stimulate the brain and go deep for deep thoughts?
Then check out the Santa Fe Institute's Public Lecture Series. These folks put on lectures on various topics and there's no admission charge, no reservations required. Only thing is seating is limited so ...
