About the Book
When you're stressed, there is no better place to unknot. Laid out in the protective foothills of Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Santa Fe's crooked streets follow the contours of uneven earth, offering a scene in the shades of terracotta, ginger, and cappuccino. With an idiosyncratic cosmopolitan style, this town boasts an inordinate number of lodging, galleries, gift shops, and restaurants. It's also the hub of scientific luminaries. Take a stroll up the whistling Canyon Road leading to the piñon foothills - an immersion into Santa Fe's eclectic art world. Cottonwoods provide shade and the sweet fragrance emanates from purple wisteria blossoms as the ancient narrow street De Vargas leads to Santuario de Guadalupe. Take a balloon flight giving yourself to the mercy of wind; the scenery of Rio Grande is worth the risk. Hit your feet strong by dancing flamenco, then join the pottery class to down your passion. Lift your five senses at "Inn of the Five Graces." Open your chakras with color therapy, rejuvenate your body and spirit at the spa Ten Thousand Waves. Dine at izanami, and have the tequila-marinated scallops, shrimp and paella bring to mind balmy ocean breezes. Santa Fe is not only a creative refuge for the gourmets, artists, natural healers, psychics, or physics. Its modern hustle-bustle is tempered and the cowboy belts or boots are de rigueur.
