We have a very full schedule of activities on tap for tomorrow, Sunday. This weekend is the annual International Folk Art Market, which brings artists from all over the world to show and sell their wares in booths up on Museum Hill here in Santa Fe. We’ve made this an annual event and this time we are introducing it to two new friends who are moving to SF.
The day will begin with church services at the very alternative Church of Antioch, which is a radical offshoot from the Catholic church. This group is very “far out” with elaborate costumes, great music, men and women priests, and pageantry enough for the most jaded taste. We are taking our new friends there, partly to see the historic Loretto Chapel and partly for the fun of it. Then it is up to Museum Hill to be submerged in the folk art of the world.
While we are doing all that there will be an open house at our home to show potential buyers what they can get in downtown Santa Fe for less than $700,000. (We are selling our SF home, applying for retirement visas for Spain, and moving there when we can.)
After the open house is over we come home to host other friends for tea while we discuss plans for a pilgrimage in the depths of France (Le Puy to Conques) sometime next year. Its a great life if you don’t weaken!
All this is a little more hectic than I would like, but sometimes these events just pile in, in spite of our best efforts to maintain some order in our lives. Santa Fe is certainly an exciting town to live in and we look forward to coming back here when we tire of being vagabonds in Europe.
