from the ti leaf family

a teller of tales

Fun loved pages,

Fill up my mind,

Images and words,

Become mine,

Illustrious heroes,

Next to pompous pets,

A realm of reality,

Not this but the next,

Intentions clear,

Unique to one,

The perfect end,

Before night falls,

And the world is cloaked,

With a peaceful dream,

Of silent days,

And that of teeming waves.

an adobe hotel

The Inn and Spa at Loretto, Santa Fe. This is an opulent hotel in Santa Fe, in the very distinctive adobe style. It is not the hotel that I stayed in.

Even when you’re stuck, all alone in a hotel room, you can be creative. At least that’s the challenge.

My trip to Santa Fe in March was my first time to Southern US (I’m not counting California). This was the first time I had seen, first-hand, the Adobe architecture that this region is famed for, as characterised by this church near the centre of the town. I found it fascinating, but I was there for just 5 days (and most of the time was spent inside a hotel attending a conference) – I wondered how the residents feel living with this style over many years.
