Two days before we got to New Mexico, we got alerts that the state of New Mexico was imposing a new 2 week full lockdown stay at home order starting the day we arrived. It wasn’t the week we had envisioned. Taos and Santa Fe were ghost towns, our own zombie apocalypse movie set. No one was out, nothing was open and we commiserated about the pottery we wouldn’t be able to take home.
No Meow Wolf, no Georgia O’Keefe museum, no Cafe Pasquals. We said big bumskies but also OH WELL, we made our own food and made our own fun and had the streets of Santa Fe to ourselves.
