My plans are set – the ticket is bought, the casita is reserved and the deposit is paid. I’m FINALLY going to go to Indian Market in Santa Fe, New Mexico this year!!! My two previous trips to Santa Fe were in the winter. While it’s still lovely then, I’m looking forward to seeing it in warm, or dare I say hot, weather!
When I was trying to find a place to stay there, other than the overpriced hotels, the owners kept informing me that Indian Market is their busiest weekend of the year, so they always raise their prices. Yes, I’m well aware of that. I wasn’t expecting to find anything for $50/night, but I was hoping NOT to pay $250/night plus tax, either! Apparently, 90,000 people attended Indian Market last year, so it’s best to reserve everything as far in advance in possible.
I do have a thing for Native American Indian jewelry. All of my best stuff IS from Santa Fe. I can only imagine what incredible jewelry they’ll have that weekend, though I’m sure it will cost a pretty penny.
Plus, there’s the food. I love green chile (and like red chile as well). I also like spicy and am a particular fan of enchiladas. I’ll probably eat green chile enchiladas at least once per day!
If everything goes well, my favorite partner in crime from my bad, bad, wild, wild days in Los Angeles will be joining me! If she’s reading this right now (and we know she is), she better be marking her calendar for August 16th!
