Downtown Santa Fe, NM

Welcome to Santa Fe-historic city

Classic architecture

Front door of cathedral

Catholic church is still in use today

Inside the cathedral during services

Statue salutes people of many different ethnicities

Frontiersmen, priests, Spanish explorers and Native Americans

Santa Fe is the oldest city in the United States

The Santa Fe trail ended here from the midwest
and started here for California taking explorers through Utah
Animals too played their part: horses, oxen, burros all were needed

A quiet place in a busy city

Museum of Contemporary Indian Art

Native American Catholic Saint

Window shopping is so much fun

Indian and Mexican-Spanish relics are everywhere

The land of turqouise jewelry lives

Cowboy-cowgirl attire is in but expensive

All is all a delightful place to visit
especially so because family lives here
