Girls Getaway to Santa Fe - Where We Shopped

There are tons of great shops along the Plaza. The first place we shopped was outside the Palace of the Governors, where Native Americans come to town to sell their authentic jewelry and crafts. We were overwhelmed with all of the gorgeous turquoise we saw there, and I would have purchased more if I could afford it. After much browsing and deliberation, I settled on a pair of turquoise earrings made by Sam Burnside. Other great shops we visited included: Packards (http://www.packards-santafe.com/), The Rainbow Man (www.RainbowMan.com) and Lewallen & Lewallen Jewelry (www.LewAllenJewelry.com).

With the revitalization of the city’s Railyards district, this is now a great place to find studios, galleries, museums and community organizations, as well as the Santa Fe Farmers' Market (http://www.santafefarmersmarket.com/) every Saturday. We found some great shops here, such as Daniella (http://www.shopdaniella.com/), REI (http://www.rei.com/), Mindy & Clyde Cupboard Company (www.MindyClyde.com) and Teca Tu, A Paws-Worthy Emporium (http://www.tecatu.com/).

As we said our goodbyes and reflected on our trip, I fully realized why Santa Fe refers to itself as “The City Different.” This destination was like no other place I’ve been before with its unique architecture, Spanish and Indian influence, strong art and culture, and laid back lifestyle. No wonder the average repeat visit is five times. Happy birthday Santa Fe! Here’s to another 400 fabulous years!

Generic Viagra can help with sexual activity. Viagra works on some of the muscles in your penis that help control the blood flow (when we're teens, the control over these muscles isn't always perfect which is why erections would sometimes pop up at inconvenient moments). Cialis encourages these muscles to let more blood flow into the penis when the time is right.
