Santa Fe 2025 I

I’m back in the sunny southwest!

That’s Christian, a walking tour guide (at right) telling the story of how Santa Fe became the multi-cultural center that it is today. The Weaver and I are here for a midwinter break, as well as some fine dining during restaurant week. It's our fourth trip, which is an endorsement in itself; Santa Fe’s small town atmosphere and numerous cultural attractions (and being 40° warmer than Minnesota) make it an easy choice.

Our first fine dining experience was at Izanami, a Japanese restaurant located in the Sangre de Cristo foothills above the city. A far cry from the usual Southwestern fare but Santa Fe is full of options with over 400 places to eat out, which is pretty exceptional for a metro population of 125,000. The food fab, of course, even the vegetables were delish. Tempura Cauliflower with miso chile sesame sauce, pine nuts, and furikake:
More Santa Fe goodies tomorrow…
