It\u2019s a lifestyle, not a destination. All expressed in the poetry that is Santa Fe, a language not spoken anywhere else in the country. People live here not only because they want to but because they cannot imagine living anywhere else.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15449\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15449\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15449\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Skulls.jpg\" alt=\"skulls\" width=\"850\" height=\"661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Skulls.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Skulls-600x467.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Skulls-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Skulls-768x597.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15449\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of Vic Block<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Everyone knows Santa Fe is synonymous with art, whether Southwestern, Native American or contemporary.

There are three very old structures, each sporting its own history and appeal. First, the Loretto Chapel, built in 1873 as the first Gothic, as opposed to adobe, structure west of the Mississippi and home to probably the most inspirational staircase anywhere. Here\u2019s the story: the architect building the church died before access to the choir loft could be constructed, and the chapel was too small to allow for a traditional staircase. So the nuns did what nuns do: they prayed to St. Joseph, the Patron Saint of Carpenters for 9 days, at which time a carpenter appeared without any of the tools needed to build a staircase. And yet a spiral staircase, taking up little floor space, was built \u2013 at which point he disappeared without thanks or payment.<\/p>\n<p>The Miraculous Staircase, as it\u2019s understandably known, built with simple tools, wooden pegs and rare wood not native to the American Southwest, has two complete 360 degree turns with no center pole for structural support.\u00a0 The entire weight of the staircase rests on the bottom stair. I\u2019m not knowledgeable enough to recognize the feat of engineering this required but I am discerning enough to delight in and be amazed by the story. Just the visual of the staircase itself is moving.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15455\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15455\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15455\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Oldest-House.jpg\" alt=\"Oldest House, Santa Fe\" width=\"540\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Oldest-House.jpg 540w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Oldest-House-213x300.jpg 213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15455\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><center>Photo courtesy of Vic Block<\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And then there is the Oldest House. And by old, I mean really old as its adobe foundation dates back to an ancient Indian Pueblo circa 1200. The museum itself is relatively new, as recent as 1646. Two rooms with even newer household artifacts from the 1800\u2019s to1900\u2019s rest on part of the original foundation conveying a sense of the family life that thrived back then. Not surprisingly, a sheaf of dried red peppers so prevalent in modern-day Santa Fe also make their appearance here; red chili peppers hang in historical perpetuity!<\/p>\n<p>From oldest house in the U.S. to the oldest Church \u2013 San Miguel Mission \u2013 and it\u2019s still operating today. You\u2019re probably beginning to pick up that I am more of a history buff than art connoisseur\u2026\u00a0 Santa Fe and the church were pretty much born in the same year \u2013 1610 \u2013 and once again, the original foundation is still evident. There are a number of very old paintings flanking the walls but the most exciting feature is a large church bell sitting proudly behind the mission pews with its own fascinating history dating back to 1356. Now that\u2019s impressive!<\/p>\n<p>The chapel, the church and the house are all situated on the Santa Fe Trail \u2013 its own historic landmark &#8212; which in 1821 connected Missouri and <a href=\"http:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel-3things-new_mexico.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Mexico<\/a>, heralding a decades-long period of trade, adventure and western mobility unheard of before in the new nation. The historic trail ends in the Santa Fe Plaza, which forms the heartbeat and soul of the city. There many Native Americans gather to sell their wares daily alongside the Palace of the Governors. Upon entering the city, we spotted decorative Native symbols on a bridge, heralding an immediate connection with Native American history and culture. That never dissipates. And indeed permeates every facet of the city.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15454\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15454\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15454\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/San-Miguel-Mission-Tapestry.jpg\" alt=\"the San Miguel Mission and Native American tapestry, Santa Fe\" width=\"850\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/San-Miguel-Mission-Tapestry.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/San-Miguel-Mission-Tapestry-600x381.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/San-Miguel-Mission-Tapestry-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/San-Miguel-Mission-Tapestry-768x488.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15454\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photos courtesy of Vic Block<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15456\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15456\" style=\"width: 520px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15456\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Redskins-Fan.jpg\" alt=\"Washington Redskins fan\" width=\"520\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Redskins-Fan.jpg 520w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Redskins-Fan-205x300.jpg 205w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15456\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><center>Photo courtesy of Vic Block<\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As a Washington, DC resident, I was amused to see a Redskins cap on the head of one of the vendors.
