Go to the movies! It’s the Santa Fe Film festival this week: the 28th to 12/2. Some of you can afford it, come fly to Santa Fe. Check if the winter lower rates have started. If not, check the Bed and Breakfast or small cozy hotels for comfort that surpasses the big chains.
Five Graces is almost like renting a first story condo. La Posada will be expensive but has a restaurant and SPA. Rio Chama a famous exquisite dining experience whre the chef knows how to really cook lotsa MEATs. Big portions. Get breakfast down the street at Guadulpe Cafe.
The movies will be located all over town so you will need a car rental. There should be plenty available. Bring WARM WINTER CLOTHES: it’s already snowed the the temps have been in the 30’s the last several days.
If you surf, you’ll find great deals with breakfast included: example there’s a small inn near the Espiscapal Church on Palace across the street from La Posada Inn. See if you can google that! Anyway, it’s a simple accomodation with a dining room. Small, quaint, close to the Plaza. They bake their own muffins and have a large healthy selection for breakfast/brunch.
The film festival is fun, however people around these parts are being challenged by prospects of oil drilling in Santa Fe County, near a large and needed water basin.

I had intended to copy part of an article in the Sun News which is now on the stands but not online yet regarding the proposed drilling in Galisteo. The article is called Progress? by Cyril Christo. This is a pretty political newspaper with affordable advertising. Subtitles for the Paper include: Environment, Sustainability, and local news. In addition to a wide range of articles, they are great undercover agents and publish what few papers would dare to say.
This issue has 65 or more advertisers which show that local businesses support the free press and the enviornment.
This month’s issue is not online yet. However you can read recent issues at the above link.
You could be warned, get past te first 60 seconds and…
There will be a lot of films, in many categories, on all sorts of topics. Come to Santa fe and enjoy the warm theatres, the parties, meeting the actors and sometime directors. You might even have a chance to see an incredible sunset between movies. If you are a film maker, it’s a good place to network too!
People form all over the planet come to this film festival. So do the movies.
OK I spent less than $10 on Black Friday. I had to work and came home right after work. When I got to work late, there was an expired pasta asian style pasta waiting for me for my lunch. I was lucky. There was also apple pie, sweet potato casserole and pumpkin cheesecake. Our boss likes to cook. Sometimes I get spoiled. Could you go a day without spending $10? It’d be a good challenge every so often. Do you think we consume too much? Write me. Mary
