I was in Santa Fe all of last week for a training seminar. I stayed in the Plaza area, which is rich with adobe architecture and art museums and galleries. Since I was in seminars and/or working on a brief all through the daytime, it was kind of nice that there was so much to see just walking along the street for an hour or so before dinner.
