Santa Fe's farmer's market is older and has thrived for much longer than Albuquerque's, and is a hangout for some of the coolest people in the country--no, make that the world. But it lacks the green grass where one can linger a little longer than planned. We met this interesting musician-artist Lucinda, who makes musical instruments from dried gourds. She seemed like such a beautiful soul.
The Railyard Market - This is a new venue for Albuquerque this summer. The venue in the old rail yards is just awesome. This last week Raphael and I joined the free yoga class in one of the corners. I chatted up this woman from Colorado who sews cloth bags and satchels and listened to how she was forced into a career change--a difficult transition--but one that has transformed her for the better, forever.
I leave these places with an inspiring sense of community, and a greater love of people.
St. John's Summer Concerts - The campus of this college has become dear to me for Raphael and I have enjoyed the beauty of its location for many years. We've taken numerous walks in the canyon, and picnicked on the playgrounds. We've been out twice this summer to attend their outdoor musical concerts. They always have a big turnout. Summer's heat doesn't keep them away, and it's the best places to dance -- if you enjoy dancing.
Parks and Recreation organized a Brazilian musical concert in the outdoors yesterday. Sitting with my sweetheart, outdoors in view of the mountains, the valley below and the biggest sky above, breaks my heart with happiness.
