Good Morning!!!! 65F @ 9:00AM Areas of fog early, becoming sunny this afternoon. High around 75F. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 mph.
Drew, Santa Fe, NM has some great restaurants . There's also a plaza downtown that used to have vendors selling hand crafted American Indian art and jewelry. Tons of other galleries, too. Been a while since I've been there, though.
There are also the Taos and Acoma pueblos in the Albuquerque area that are worth seeing.
Learn about Pueblo culture in our museum and exhibition galleries. Tour our collection of murals by Pueblo artists for an inspiring personal experience.
