Santa Fé is an artistic place
On the walk back from dinner to the hotel, I decided to have a look at some of the features of Santa Fé. It's a very artistic place here, and although it can look a bit "touristy," the features seem very genuine as compared to those in other places I've been. The plaza is full of trees wearing their fall foliage.

It's an old town. The streets are narrow, and adobe structures abound.

On the way I stopped at Starbucks for a Venti Breve Latte — even a franchised coffee shop has an assimilated Santa Fé feel to it.

There's a theater here that exemplifies the adobe construction. It has very interesting detail.

The El Dorado Hotel is an excellent example of the Santa Fé artistic look.
