Fe: 400 Years Young
What do Georgia O'Keeffe, Ansel Adams and Jeff Bridges have
in common? All are legendary artists inspired by the unique landscapes
of New
Mexico and Santa Fe - the only American city to be designated by UNESCO
as a creative city.
400 years ago, settlers from Spain realized
the potential
here and made their way north from Mexico to settle in the Rio Grande
watershed. Joining the rich Puebloan culture that had resided here for
over 1000
years, they built a city, dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi and older
than the
New England colonies.
Anglos like me have stumbled on this
utopia - breathtaking
scenery, exquisite cuisine, art and music - all a rich blend of
southwestern
hospitality. Join me on the Santa Fe Trail for a taste of it all and
help
celebrate our 400th Birthday!
