You like some of the things I like — the SF Opera (esp. when they do the standards, not the avant-garde stuff), the VLA, Chaco Canyon ruins, Mimbres pottery and yeah, Hatch chile.
I have wanted to do a big Santa Fa Opera weekend blowout for many years. The other thing I have wanted to try was Christmas week at one of the old Hotels just off the square in Santa Fe, but I haven’t done that yet.
I will admit that like all good places the signature things get overdone. I went by a McDonalds in Maine in early August that had “Lobster Rolls” on its sign.
