The city of Santa Fe, NM, is one of the most beautiful cities in North America. Its official website is here. It houses the Santa Fe Institute, where I have been a visitor almost every year since 2005, but also the Santa Fe Opera, a large number of galleries of both modern and folk art, and some remarkable architecture in adobe. The photo at the head of this post is of Taos Pueblo, an hour’s drive north of Santa Fe.
