Santa Fe
Here are some special places in and around Santa Fe..when you just have a few days, it’s nice to know where you can take a walk in nature ..where there’s a good metaphysical bookstore and of course, green chile: three places to get good “huevos rancheros with green chile” are The Plaza Restaurant, on Lincoln; the Pantry Restaurant and El Tecolote Café, both on Cerillos. The red’s good too.
The Dale Ball Trail system has some great trails with mountain views; it begins at the end of the paved part of Canyon Road and there's a parking area just where it Cerro Gordo begins. You can also walk up the dirt part of Canyon to the Audobon Society parking lot, where there are more trails.
The good metaphysical/spiritual book and supply store is The Ark, on Romero Street. 505-988-3709. Nice garden, nice couches, great book and magazine selection, great free talks.
More walking: closer to Albuquerque, there’s a beautiful stretch of land dotted with cottonwoods and little lakes, and if you like to fish there are enormous bass, about 50 minutes south of Santa Fe at Sandia Lakes Recreational Area. It’s owned and operated by the Indian Pueblo of Sandia. From 1-25 , take exit 234 West and then North 1 mile on NM 313. The biggest bass are in the last pool on the far end where it’s not so easy to get to and no one is fishing.
If you’re here in the Summertime , a nice thing to do is go down to the Plaza in the early evening…bands play, people dance and mingle, kids play hackey-sack.
Places To Stay: There are three beautiful bed and breakfasts in my East Side neighborhood by the Plaza, view them at www.alexanders-inn.com.
The Essential Guide: There's a little black book around town, in the hotels and other public places, with places to go, gallery ads, etc., and they also put out a really great calendar illustrated by Santa Fe artists..it's a cheap way to get a lot of great art...check them out at www.essentialguide.com .
Mexico Links
Acambaro: The best fruit and nut type candy bars in the world are in Acambaro - I saved the label, they’ve been making “dulces regionales” since 1935 and the store is called “Salvador Tinajero” at #121 Avenida 1 de Mayo. It’s the most elegant little place with great snacks and candy. All over Acambaro there are bakeries saying they make the best bread in the world - I ran into an artist who has a bread museum on a street right off the plaza, and plans a restaurant/tourist attraction too- they’ve been making bread in Acambaro longer than most places on the planet.
Oaxaca: For cooking lessons, adventure, and a beautiful place to be, look at what author/chef Susana Trilling offers at her Rancho Aurora overlooking a beautiful valley a little north of Oaxaca, at www.seasonsofmyheart.com.
