Sounds amazing, Cathy. I love the photos. How perfect that you could enjoy a full day without the fatigue. I hope you find more of those days.

sno4fun,

Thank you again, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

It is so great to hear that you got a relief, if only for a few days, to be able to celebrate a very important time in your life with your husband. Not many get to that point anymore and especially not if one of them develops an illness along the way. Being able to celebrate this milestone in your lives and to be able to do it feeling great is a sure sign that God is with you in your life. I hope that you got to enjoy the rest of your trip as well and created many more memories that you will both carry with you for the rest of your lives.
Take care and God Bless.

Yes, I would love to live in a place that creates miracles. It's so lovely there.

How was the Balloon Festival? I do hope you write about it.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your thoughts. How nice to hear your thoughts!

Best to you always~

Cheryl,

You should go - you would love it! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me.

I hope you are safely tucked away in LA during whatever storms you are getting.

Thinking of you~

Oh, how I would have loved to visit Abiquiu to see where Georgia O'Keefe lived. That must have been fascinating! I wanted to visit Ghost Ranch, but there just wasn't enough time.

I'm so glad you share a similar experience in SF and that you also found the Sage Bakehouse. Wasn't it wonderful?

I hope someday I can go back. If I do, I'll consult with you about some nightlife! Nothing extraordinary, just something to do!

Thanks so much for sharing your journey with me. It was so wonderful to hear about it!

Best to you~
Cathy

Sandra,

There wasn't even one movie theater! We were wondering why they had such a large and extensive video store, something we don't see around here. Now I know why!

I wish I could go back there more often, but it isn't around the corner for us. Someday....

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on my post.

Best~
Cathy
P.S. Are you an opera fan?

Thank you, Pat. Isn't it extraordinary to find a place where you feel healthier, but then upsetting that you can't bottle that feeling 24/7?

Thanks for reading my blog post. I am glad you got to spend time in Santa Fe and felt better there. Next time I'll meet you there!

Best always~
Cathy

Oh Cathy, I am so glad you had those 4 perfect days. I often say how I much I long for a vacation from my body and it looks like you found it. Years ago my husband and I spent time in Santa Fe and loved it and come to think of it, I felt healthier there too. Gorgeous photos!

So happy for your magical trip. Sounds like you need to spend some time there. They do have a wonderful opera season. Maybe a few months a year? Night life? What in the world do you do at night?

Discovered this post via @MS_Bloggers and felt transported back to northern New Mexico -- a place where my MS symptoms also seem to magically disappear.

I don't know what it is out there -- my neurologist says the dry heat is a boon for us -- but the southwest has always been good to me. My husband and I (who live in the humid midwest) seemed to have a lot of the same itinerary you did this June -- it was our 10th anniversary. We stayed just across the street from the Sage Bakehouse, so I know that place well! We also visited the Abiquiu area, northeast of Santa Fe, where Georgia O'Keeffe had her Ghost Ranch. The colors, like the chiles, seem to fuel the soul. Thanks for the memories -- and if you do go back, I can tell you where the nightlife is! 😉 - Sunshine
