Our neighbors just across the West Texas border, it’s a quick hour and a half flight or 9 hour drive to Santa Fe so an easy weekend getaway. It’s also one of the oldest cities in the world, with a unique adobe architecture, a melting pot of Native American, Spanish and Mexican cultures, and a vibrant arts and food scene!
