Santa Fe is the place to be in July and August! Many events take place during these months there. The world renowned Santa Fe Opera performs in July and August, the International Folk Art Market is in July, Santa Fe chamber music festival begins in July and runs into August, the Santa Fe International Art Fair, PhotoArts Santa Fe, Flamenco Festival and lots and lots more. Around Santa Fe are many puebos each with their own calendar of events and festivals. These events draw visitors from around the world. A walk through the plaza in Sante Fe on a summer day can prove this as you will hear dozens of different languages being spoken there. I love to hangout on the plaza and meet people. Talking to people from all over the world and every background. Learning about far off places trying to overcome language barriers. I had a particularly amusing conversation with a funny man from Indonesia I am not sure what we were trying to talk about but I did finally get an invitation to a 5 star Singapore hotels he managed if I ever get to Indonesia. That was a funny interaction as I to this day do not know what we were trying to say to each other. Around the plaza there are arts and crafts for sale by local vendors. Under the ramada of the Place of the Governors Native Americans show their wear in blankets laid out n the side walk. This had occurred here on a daily basis for more than 100 years. Santa Fe has an long and deep history. It is the oldest capitol city in the US. Once being the capitol of the New Mexico territory which included New Mexico, present day Arizona and southern California when the Spanish controlled the area. In Santa Fe there are Native American influences, Spanish influences and Japanese influences due to the interrnment camps there during WW II. Shops selling Native wears, Japanese goods and Latino influenced goods all are side by side. It is a wonderful place with warm days and cool nights in the summer and the occasional afternoon thunderstorm.
