 Cold Weather Clothes by VeronicaG
Also, a hood to your parka or hat is necessary, because the wind can make it raw for you while you're outdoors. If you spend anytime at all outdoors, you'll be glad you were dressed to face the elements!

 Preparations Should Include
These! by VeronicaG
Although I did take my sunglasses, they broke and I had to replace them there. A brief time lapsed before I found a new pair. Let me tell you, I was a bit blinded by the sun as it reflected off the snow.

 Don't Worry About Fashion... by VeronicaG
Wear footwear with TREADS. Although there is nothing trendy about snow/hiking boots they really help you navigate safely wherever you are hoping to go. Expect snow in the winter in Santa Fe.
If you're going out in the evening, carry your heels or place them in a bag to change into later.

 Santa Fe is 7,320 ft. above
sea level by VeronicaG
Happily, as we moved closer to Albuquerque, where the elevation is 5,352 ft. above sea level, I no longer had that problem. Although we followed the advice to take it easy the first two days and certainly did NOT do any mountain climbing, sometimes it can still affect you. So if you're sick to your stomach, dizzy or perhaps feeling like you can't breathe in enough air--these symptoms are probably altitude related.

 Hydrate yourself! by VeronicaG
As we visited the sites, browsed the galleries or walked along the shops near the plaza, our throats would become very dry. It seemed we were stopping for something to drink each day aside from breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Our guide book recommended that one should drink lots of water and we found that to be true--so be sure to drink up!

 So many art galleries in Santa
Fe, New Mexico! by jumpingnorman
Art galleries are everywhere and it’s almost impossible not to see one of them when you are in Santa Fe.
The most notable are:
Canyon Road
Railroad District and SITE Santa Fe
West Palace Arts District
New Mexico Museum of Art
Georgia O’Keefe Museum
Museum of International Folk Art
Institute of American Indian Arts
Shidoni Foundry
There is no shortage of places for culture-lovers in Santa Fe! I am not one of them (I just occasionally watch plays and music)…but there is the Santa Fe Opera, the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, Symphony and Orchestra and the Desert Chorale. Leave a Comment

 Adobe Box Houses in Santa Fe,
New Mexico by jumpingnorman
The Palace of the Governors is one perfect example of an adobe structure. In the past, the buildings were traditionally made by shaping the mud-based substance into bricks, with supports provided by large logs, called vigas.
But now, they still retain the box-like buildings but using “faux-dobe” and one of these newer buildings include the New Mexico Museum of Art. Leave a Comment

 This guidebook was very
helpful! by VeronicaG
This MOON HANDBOOK cost $16.95 and was published by Avalon Travel. Inside you'll find suggested routes, sights, restaurants, hotels, shopping, maps and other invaluable information. Also, the author's first hand experience added a great deal to this guidebook, making it one of the reasons I'm recommending it so highly.

 Plaza in Santa Fe, NM by karenincalifornia
The Plaza used to be twice as large at is today and used to be a location for grazing sheep and holding town hall meetings. Today sheep hang out in the suburbs and the city has a real town hall. Leave a Comment
