Santa Fe is a fabulous city - lots of art, culture, and amazing food!  We will visit galleries, become immersed in a colorful art experience, and taste some of the best hot chocolate ever.

For the comfort and safety of all - you must have proof of vaccination, be prepared to wear a mask if asked to, and may be asked to take a Covid test beforehand.

We arrive in Santa Fe and check into our hotel (pictured).  Once we're all together, we walk across the street to the Railyard Arts District for a bit of wandering around before dinner (and maybe some music) at Cowgirl BBQ.

This morning we experience the mind-bending Meow Wolf. The House of Eternal Return features over 70 rooms of immersive art to explore. It’s impossible to explain, but here’s a little taste of what’s in store: https://www.youtube.com/watchv=lmNvh0W6Y4Y 

From there we move on to the equally mind-blowing chocolate at Kakawa followed by lunch.  (Think 'Eat dessert first!')  After a visit to the world-famous Georgia O’Keefe Museum, we have a Gruet champagne tasting at the gorgeous St. Francis Hotel.

In the evening, we join the ‘Last Friday Art Walk’ through the galleries of the Railyard Arts District.

We begin today exploring the Canyon Road Arts District then take the shuttle to  Santa Fe Plaza where we visit Loreto Chapel which is famous for its unusual spiral staircase. It rises 20 feet while making two full turns, all without the support of a central pole. According to legend, it was built in answer to prayers by the local nuns when a mysterious stranger appeared and offered to build the staircase. He worked alone using only a few simple hand tools and disappeared afterwards without collecting his pay or the Sisters learning his identity. In any case, it’s an amazing feat of woodworking.

After lunch, there's free time to wander the plaza with its wonderful mix of amazing food, charming galleries, and fabulous shopping before dinner at local institution The Shed.

We spend the morning at the Artisan Market in the Railyard Arts District.  Then the tour ends.  

Until our next Speed Dating a City event!
