WHEN I TRAVELED TO NEW MEXICOAS AN ARCHAEOLIGISTWHEN I WAS ABOUT 20. I VISITED SANTE FE AND OTHER NEARBY PUEBLOS.PEOPLE WERE SAELLING THEIR CRAFTS. I SAW MANY WOMEN WITH POTTERY AND TOURQUISE JEWELRY. THEY HAD MADE THESE FROM DIFFERENT TYPES OF JEWELRY STYLES. THERE WERE JUST ASO MANY WOMEN WHO HAD MANY CRAFTS IN THE SMALL TOWN SQUARE.
SANTE FE IS NORTHEAST OF ALBUQUERQUE. IT IS KNOIWN AS A HOLY CITY IN SPANISH. IT WAS ORIGINALLY OCCUPIED BY PUEBLO INDIANS. IN 1050. MY HUSBAND AND I VISITED THIS TOWN WITH OUR TEENAGE SON ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO. IT IS A VERY ARTISTIC TOWN TODAY WITH MANY GALLERIES. SANTE FE WAS THE STOP ON THE NEW MEXICO RAILWAY. THEY HAVE INDIAN MARKETS HERE FOR TOURISTS.
WE ENJOYED THE MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN AND THE SCENERY. THE SPANISHSTYLEOF ARCHITECTURE IS APPEALING. WE REALING ENJOYED THE FOLK ART MUSEUM. THE CITY IS A GREAT PLACE TO EXPLORE THE HISTORY OF THE EARLY HISTORY OF THE EARLY PUEBLO INDIANS. THEY HAVE MANY FESTIVALS HERE. WE TRAVELLED TO SOME OF THE SMALLER PUEBLOS AND THEY ARE VERY OPEN TO ANGLOS VISITING THEM.
