Zuni Corn
On the outskirts of Santa Fe, New Mexico
Visit in and around Santa Fe, New Mexico, opened the eyes of each individual. Over four years of culture and history, a stroll through the streets of Santa Fe is a journey through time. The first settlers from the East found its way through the Santa Fe Trail Today can be reached by plane, train or automobile. Note that the streets around the main square are very narrow. Out with the have felled mechanical coin counters $ 1.00 per hour. A passenger train runs frequently during the day in Bethlehem through Albuquerque to Santa Fe bus transit system offers free rides to train ticket holders. The rate for seniors is only $ 0.50 or $ 1.00 all day. Remember this, flatlanders, when you walk about tourism. You are over 7.00 meters. Seeing Santa Fe is breathtaking in more ways than one.
Ask the residents of "The Roundhouse" and give instructions to the creation of capital, a four-story building with a circular plaza as Zia Sun symbol, which also appears on the state flag. Tour of the top three floors are open to guide you. Check out the visitor information desk on the main level and luck to meet Sara Duran, a local resident with a source of knowledge. What she does not know, she would find out.
The capital complex opened in 1966. What is surprising about the construction is the use of space and the many works of art hanging on every wall. The artists who represent the many aspects of New Mexico: natural beauty the beauty of indigenous peoples, Spanish colonialism, modern and New Mexico with all its diversity.
The fourth floor houses the offices of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor. Governor's Gallery, started in 19 73, focuses on local art and artists as an extension branch of the Museum of Fine Arts.
The third floor has several offices of 42 senators elected every four years and 70 representatives elected every two years. They must be citizens and residents of his district. In addition to not receive a salary, allowances and only a mileage allowance. They meet for 60 days in odd years and 30 days in even years. Albuquerque and its environs are almost a quarter of the legislators, because the districts are measured by the population. Eating wholeheartedly other states with inflated salaries of their legislators.
The second floor, the main floor houses the Senate galleries and chambers of Representative. Both are up to date with modern technological innovations. Both have the Great Seal of New Mexico, behind the reception. The rotunda floor also represents the seal. Little has changed since 1851. The American Bald Eagle shields smaller eagle of Mexico. Bald Eagle captures three arrows in its talons. The harpy eagle is a snake in its mouth and a cactus in its talons. This goes back to Aztec history, in which the gods told the Aztecs to settle where they saw an eagle displayed. Below them are the state motto reads "Crescit Eundo" (It grows as it goes).
Sarah has recommended a restaurant on the street called El Alto Pizza Crust Hall, which was chosen as the best in Santa Fe. For less than $ 5.00 Monday to Friday 11:00-1:00 you can get a great slice of pizza with one ingredient of your choice, a small salad and a drink pizza. He was delicious. I Thai spicy dressing on my salad. He lived up to its name. The soda had were great. My wife chose a Way2Cool root beer, made in Carrizozo, NM. Outstanding! chose A Blue Sky Lemon Lime Soda, made with natural ingredients. Earrings too!
The restaurant is located just across San Miguel Mission Church, which goes back to Spanish colonial times and rebuilt after the 1680 Pueblo Revolt. The church is still active for the people who live in the Neighborhood Analco.
Beside the restaurant is a building that claims to be "the oldest house in the" U.S. house. Dates back to the people in Analco 1200, and then the Spanish colonization in 1607. Today the property houses a gallery, what happened was closed at that time.
Continue walking along the old Santa Fe Trail ends at La Fonda, a luxury hotel. It was part of the Harvey House empire during the late 19th century and 20th century. The hotel has been there since early 1800s as reflected the roots of the hotel, said: "The Inn at the End of the Santa Fe Trail." La Fonda, which means inn, facing the Plaza. Some famous residents of the hotel were Captain William Becknell, who arrived in 1821 after a successful trading expedition from Missouri to Santa Fe to open the way Santa Fe and Ernie Pyle, journalist of the Second World War.
Directly across the street from La Fonda Hotel in Santa Fe Trail is the Chapel Loretto. This features the Gothic chapel "miraculous staircase." Legend has it that St. Joseph came to the chapel and built in one night. This stand-alone spiral wooden staircase has no support beams. The woodcuts are complex in design. Whoever built was a master carpenter and wood carver. A visit to the Chapel Loreto is worth a trip to Santa Fe in itself.
Around the plaza are many specialty shops and a highly recommended restaurant, the Cafe Plaza, that has been in business for generations, serving local food at moderate prices. Thanks again to Sara. Along the north side of the square stands the Hall of Governors closed Mondays. Under the portico, the natives are selling many of their turquoise jewelry. They sit, patiently waiting for someone to show interest in their products. Around the square are numerous food vendors with local delicacies for sale.
Catty corner to the plaza is the Museo de Bellas Artes, with permanent exhibitions and temporary. Between the Palace and the streets of San Francisco is the donkey Alley. A Bronze Statue of a donkey loaded guards the entrance to the alley. Beside it is Lensic Theater where concerts are held. On the wall of one of the buildings dating back to the Plaza along San Francisco street declaring that Billy the Kid was jailed here for a while awaiting trial and sentencing in Mesilla. At the eastern end of Calle San Francisco's St. Francis Cathedral, which is surrounded by scaffolding for renovation.
Other interesting attractions in Santa Fe are the Georgia O'Keefe Museum, with many of his works. Canyon Road has many galleries exhibiting local artists. Heading South along Cerrillos Road, New Mexico, is the School for the Deaf. They have a theater, where plays. Northwest of the city is the world famous Santa Fe Opera. His season is in July and August in this beautiful venue set in the mountains.
Continue north on Route 285 to Chimayo. Pilgrims have been doing this hike from 1810 to the Sanctuary of Chimayo in search of physical and spiritual healing. Lourdes healing properties of its water. Chimayo is the cure dirt found on the crucifix of Our Lord of Esquipulas. pilgrims are instructed to rub the dirt in parts of the body to heal. The Church replaced the dirt, approximately twenty tons per year. The grounds are beautiful and is a tributary of the Rio Grande, runs behind the property. The priest that the sanctuary is a member of the Sons of the Order of the Holy Family. It is very friendly and personal.
The next destination is high Bandelier National Monument in the Jemez Mountains. The monument still in the extensive ruins of the Pueblo Indians, who entered the region 10,000 years ago. Bandelier traveled the area in the 1880s and was shown to the people of Frijoles Canyon by natives. He wrote a novel, joy Policy makers, the life of the people they represent before the Spanish incursion in the area. The park takes its name.
Archaeological surveys record at least 3.00 at the Monument to the sites. An easy way about a mile long leads to the Long House carved in volcanic rock on the cliff. The Long House is a stretch of 800 feet. Lead stairs inside the dwellings. In the face of the cliff pictographs and petroglyphs, which represent faces and geometric designs. Many others are under the ruins in the canyon floor.
People were hunter-gatherers and farmers, planting maize, beans, squash and sunflowers. In the mid 1500s people moved to different areas. The people of Cochiti, San Felipe, Santo Domingo, San Ildefonso, Santa Clara, and Zuni contribute to the preservation and interpretation of historic sites.
Along Route 4 you see signs that LANL read, stay away. The reason for this is Los Alamos, a few miles away. Los Alamos was the home for the Manhattan Project during World War II. Today the largest employer is the Department of Energy Los Alamos National Laboratory. Laboratory uses of nuclear energy continues to focus on national security.
The city itself has all the amenities of a modern city with a rich businessman. Visit the Bradbury Science Museum. It is the name of Ray, the famous writer of science fiction, but Norris, the man who continued the work of the LANL after the Second World War.
The museum is a practical experience on the discovery, the use, misuse, and disposal of nuclear waste. Especially interesting are the films. It tells the story of Los Alamos call the city that never existed. The Manhattan Project was conceived in Manhattan, New York and recruited scientists from many universities and private laboratories. Communication was marginal anyway. The Government wanted a secret place, far from any coast. Los Alamos was chosen. A private school for children was on earth. The government took over and built the city. It looked more like a border town with mud streets, prefabricated buildings, and isolation. The mailing address is PO Box 1663, Santa Fe, NM. This appeared on driver's licenses and birth certificates. Top secret was the norm. After the first explosion at Trinity at White Sands, New Mexico and after the bombing Nagasaki and Hiroshima, the city of Los Alamos was revealed.
Two other attractions in the city are The Lodge Fuller, who served as the dining room during the Project Manhattan, and Los Alamos Historical Museum, which interprets life in this region.
Leaving from Los Alamos, which continues on Route 4 through Jimez mountains. The peak is over 9,000 feet. This opens the Valles Caldera, a boiler with a diameter of twelve miles to the left of volcanic eruptions over a million years. The boiler is surrounded by forests, grasslands and mountains. Continue through Jemez Pueblo and Route 550 East. This takes you to Bernalillo and I-25. Toward the north will take you back to Santa Fe and south of Albuquerque.
About the Author
John and Maggie Pelley are Geriatric Gypsies. Both of us are retired from the rat race of working. We are full-time RVers, who ran away from home. We began our travels on the East Coast and, like the migrating birds, seek the warmth of the seasons. No more shoveling snow in Chicago. We have discovered volunteering with the National Park System. During our travels we have found that each town has a story to tell: some are more interesting than others. Both of us enjoy good listening music as we go. John has a CD he has recorded of Native American flure music. We have learned that RVing has a learning curve. We want to pass on some advice the help others avoid this trecherous curve. Life is an adventure. We are living it to the utmost.
