New Mexico Legislature, Santa Fe

Anytime I'm in a capital city, I always want to check out the state capitol building. The New Mexico State Capitol is in a league of its own! First, the exterior doesn't look like the typical style as most other capitol buildings advertise the United States. The interior is reminiscent of the pueblo style of the area and includes many pieces of artwork from New Mexico artists. In reality, this place is like an art museum aside from its governmental role. Very cool place to visit

So, I'm a recent transplant to New Mexico. I reside in Albuquerque. I took the Rail Runner train up to Santa Fe, yesterday, for the first time for my hastily thrown together last minute planned day trip. I absolutely loved Santa Fe. And I do mean I loved it. New Mexicans should be proud to call a city like Santa Fe their capital. So, I started my day upon disembarking from the train sort of just stretching my legs and walking heading nowhere in particular. And voila! There's the Roundhouse right in front of me. I so loved my experience touring this beautiful state capitol. I had no idea that it held such a fantastic collection of art. I probably spent an hour just taking in all the amazing art. I went on to tour The New Mexico Museum of Art and they were both equally impressive. Best capitol I've ever visited outside of our nation's capitol. If you're visiting Santa Fe I completely recommend a visit here.
