mile square of which Santa Fe is the center is unexcelled for historical
interest and scenic beauty anywhere in America.
The Palace of the Governors, with world class shopping, dining and
entertainment add to the quaintness and beauty of the city. The
La Fonda ~ the inn which marked the end of the Old Santa Fe Trail
~ remains in a class by itself.
