SANTA FE: A City That Looks Like Nowhere Else In The USA

[@lindadefoe6114]

I was 9 when I saw that Chapel and staircase! I never forgot the beauty and power of it! I'm 76 now

[@amberkubli3139]

One of my favorite cities!! Thank you for sharing

[@craigcanfield5474]

We live in Los Alamos, 45 miles north of Santa Fe, and in all my years I've never tired of visiting the plaza, shopping, and frequenting the many restaurants there. For anyone interested, the entire story of the staircase in the Loretto Chapel is truly amazing. There's so much more to the city and its culture, but with a time limit, it's hard to get to! I guess I missed you guys going into the capitol building! I enjoyed your visit there. I enjoy ALL of your video's! Thanks! ~ Mrs. C. ☯☮

I have been to Sante Fe and the churches . I fell in love with that city. It was just so different in architecture and all

[@CharlottePrattWilson]

That staircase is truly a miracle that I read about long ago. When Nic was lighting a vigil candle, she crossed herself, revealing her Catholic background. I’m Catholic too. Are you, Joe? Thanks for the fabulous video!🎉😊🙏🏻🕊

[@shelleyswan535]

Never knew that area could be so cold and snowy 🥶

[@prophez23]

Oh yeah I lived in Santa Fe for 4 years and now I live 20 miles east in Pecos and it gets in the negative numbers all throughout the winter months and several feet and of snow at times. The winter before I moved to Santa Fe they said they got 6 foot of snow and they were shut down for 2 weeks. You get used to it though although the snow always sucks after you've shoveled it as much as I have over the past few decades.

My very liberal hometown. Grew up there in the 70s and 80s. Much different now. My great great grandfather homesteaded there from Jefferson City, in the late 1800s; another place you featured. Love your videos! Merry Christmas.

[@keyup2626]

I just love the architecture it so pure and stunning to the eye.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Yeah, it's really interesting!

[@TalliesbyDee]

I've always enjoyed visiting Santa Fe.

[@lauraschwarz4164]

Absolutely Incredible!😮😮😮

[@prophez23]

I was born and raised in east Texas and a few decades ago I moved to Santa Fe and lived there for 4 years and now I live 20 miles east of Santa Fe in Pecos NM. You should look me up next time you plan on doing a video of the area and I can give you details and places to go that most outsiders aren't aware of. New Mexico is the land of enchantment and the magic is more enchanting the more you know or who you know here.. Best state in the country but don't tell anyone we like it like it is not many people and miles of wilderness and desert..

I went to boarding school in Santa Fe in the 1950s, right next to the San Miguel mission. Our school was called St. Michael's. I would go to Mass at the oldest church daily. Sorry you missed it, maybe on your next visit to Santa Fe.

[@michaelohair3715]

Somewhere near the town square--on it and opposite the Palace of the Governors, as I recall--was a Firestone Store. The store was there in the 40s and on into the 50s. It was owned by my father's father, a Texas and New Mexico builder who would become the chielf contractor for the International Style Sims Building in Albuqerque. For parts of the 40s and 50s I lived in Santa Fe.

Thanks happy to see Santa Fe

[@dennisromero4757]

Since you were going to Las Vegas, Nevada, you could have driven 66 miles east and gone to Las Vegas, N.M., The Original Las Vegas, where Doc Holliday was run out of town for killing someone who was shooting up his saloon in 1879.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

I will in a couple of months. We'll be over there.

[@TheAsif5182]

good cold weather and awesome church . i wish that church would be also explored by you but that was closed 😢.

[@mr1pearl]

I totally get why you liked the staircase pretty cool ! Amazing old buildings I want to go there someday !

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

It was cool, Bill. An architectural wonder that engineers still don't understand.

[@rattata30]

I heard it had no nails

[@irenejohnston6802]

Thank you ❤️. Enjoyed SF very much. What makes the water holy? Matthew 10:8. JC said.....You received free, give free. UK

[@WhittyPics]

Sounds like you are living the dream Joey?

[@maryholloway5487]

I love the Loretto Chapel and the staircase gave me chills!

[@marty5519]

Nicole, after lighting the candle, blessed herself in the Roman Catholic style. Very fitting.

[@ChristopherTrott]

I love Santa Fe! I may want to retire there.

[@billm4330]

In 1960 the United States Post Office issued a 1 1/4 cent stamp depicting the Palace of the Governors .

[@BigGator5]

I believe it. There are miracles happening all around us and every day. This story doesn't strike me as unbelievable.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Absolutely.

[@clane1700]

If you stay in SF again, try the Drury downtown. It used to be the hospital! A few ghosts are known to inhabit the place!

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

For sure. Drury is our favorite hotel chain!

[@AKASHROY-i9f]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@keyup2626]

The staircase is a work of art, the man must have been quite the carpenter to be able to pull that off, the chapel is beautiful to.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

It was beautiful, keyup. There's a picture of it online without the hand rails. Seeing that makes you understand what a wonder it is.

[@robertwalker387]

Why didn’t you go to the state capitol building and get your passport stamped? I thought you visit every state capitol building.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

It was closed that day. We have done a second Santa Fe video and got her book stamped in that one.

[@ΕυαγγελίαΓιαμπουλακη]

Biutiful city, very artist

[@robertdavenport7802]

Lived near Santa Fe for many years, always enjoy strolling around the historic section. I believe one interpretation of the story of the staircase is the mystery carpenter was Joseph (Jesus' father). He was a fine carpenter, whoever he was.

[@warrenscarlett9302]

👍👍👍

[@TheSpock23]

Holy water for $6.95. I reckon $7 would be asking too much. 🧐

[@craigcanfield5474]

LOL! Well, either you want it, or you don't!

[@ONEBALLINMYBUTT]

Wow I can’t believe this is from 10 months ago! I was waiting for Santa Fe lol
