We spent four and a half months in Santa Fe beginning with the start of the COVID isolation in March, and at the end of July we returned to California. We are going to stay around Sacramento for a few months to take care of some medical appointments and to see how the pandemic evolves. It’s not a good time to travel as we usually do. Our time in Santa Fe was mostly uneventful, as we avoided public places during the pandemic. We enjoyed long walks around beautiful Santa Fe on most days, and we saw the flowers and trees transform as spring became summer. Santa Fe is a desert city but many residents have beautiful gardens. Hollyhocks, especially, are prominent all over town. The photo galleries below show sights we encountered around Santa Fe. Click on the first photo in each block to view the slideshow.
