After a three hour delay at the San Francisco airport, Bev and I flew to Albuquerque and drove to Santa Fe last night. Today, following breakfast at a restaurant on the plaza, we browsed the kiosks in the plaza where many artists were selling their works having rented the space from Girls Inc., a non-profit group that has held the arts festival every year for several decades. Parts of Santa Fe are so walkable that we then toured the Loretta Chapel, built in the late 19th century. It features a spiral staircase that makes two complete 360 degree turns with no visible means of support except its base and its attachment to the choir loft. Built with square wooden pegs and no glue or nails. The banisters were a later addition.

Tonight, we have tickets to the Santa Fe Opera to see Don Giovanni in that gorgeous venue.
