Santa Fe and Albuquerque

[cos]

I'm in Santa Fe for several days for listgirl & Elena's wedding, and I'll probably have some free time. Suggest somewhere I should go, something I should do or see, someone I should meet, somewhere I should eat, or any permutation of the above?

I'm sharing a hotel room with mechristy, mostlylies, and rekling. Last night I dreamed that I was away somewhere, sharing a room with the three of them, for an event put on by mutual friends. I feel cheated by my dream-brain.

That was a good suggestion! I saw a little 10 minute movie about her and a shorter one about her identity in photographs of her, as well as paintings - though some of the paintings I most wanted to see are not on display; apparently they keep a lot in storage and rotate the gallery space 3 times a year. Gallery space, BTW, that seems to have been funded by someone named Esther :)

Also, on the way there I serendipitously stumbled into this place and fell in love with these paintings based on sketches made while riding city buses. At the Georgia O museum they had quotations from her on the walls and some of them helped me figure out why I like the art I like.
