On our latest trip to Santa Fe, we chose to navigate through the local stores rather than the conventional museums. But it wasn’t long before we realized that the retail scene in Santa Fe carries a hefty price tag, which would kill our budget. For instance, the cost of men’s shirts in one store surpassed a staggering thousand dollars – quite a revelation.  My postcard for 06/21/23 features a charming shop window close to the plaza on East Palace Avenue.
