Route 66 Detour → Next Stop: Santa Fe! 🛣️✨

Winter in Santa Fe feels a lot like my hometown up north—dry and chilly ❄️. With Christmas in full swing, many places were closed, but that gave us the perfect chance to wander the quiet streets and truly appreciate the unique Adobe architecture. The earthy brown walls, bright blue window frames, and vibrant red chilies form the iconic color palette of New Mexico 🎨🌶️. Santa Fe is brimming with artisan shops and galleries 🖼️—artists and writers have made this their haven, creating a city that’s both unique and full of charm. Must-Visit Areas: 🖤 Santa Fe Old Town Historic buildings and shops line the streets, along with fascinating museums. Don’t miss the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum 🎨—a tribute to one of New Mexico’s most iconic artists—and the stunning Loretto Chapel ⛪. 🖤 Canyon Road An entire street of art galleries! Each one is filled with sculptures, paintings, and creative vibes. Even just strolling here feels warm and inspiring 🧡. 🖤 Railyard District A trendy post-industrial art zone 🚂✨, home to farmers markets and flea markets. Perfect for a relaxed afternoon explore. 🖤 Hungry?
