Santa Fe Opera Tour #1

From July 29 to August 4, 2019, I joined my friend Susy on the Vancouver Opera Guild tour to Santa Fe, New Mexico.  We stayed at the Inn of the Governors, which is quite comfortable, saw four different operas in the Santa Fe Opera House, and toured Taos and vicinity and the Allan Houser Sculpture Garden. Great trip, but very, very hot which made it difficult to walk around the city for long. When we did walk in Santa Fe, we headed for the museums and galleries to get some air conditioning.

The Georgia O'Keefe Museum was very interesting and we spent a couple of hours there. First we attended an excellent lecture about the art work of Georgia O'Keefe, which included a guided tour of Gallery Room #7, some of her later works.  After touring the entire Museum, we watched a video about her life.  She painted for many decades, with her style evolving from close ups of flowers, to the desert and hills around her home, to scenes of clouds and horizons that she saw when looking out of airplane windows in flight.
