This weekend was the roaring start of 18 months of celebrations of the 400th anniversary of Santa Fe. Yes, Jamestown Virginia is older, but we are the oldest capital city in the US. This photo is of Santa Fe taken in 1900 from Fort Macy hill and it is at Fort Macy that the Anniversary festivities were kicked off this weekend
. Also of note this week is the Burning of Zozobra on Sept 10. Each year 18,000 or more people gather to watch Zozobra (Old Man Gloom) go up in flames. The Zozorba that is set on fire is a 49 ft marionette that contains thousands of pieces of paper on which the attendees have written their troubles. At $5 a ticket ($10 at the venue), it is much cheaper than therapy. (505) 660-1965 or zozobra.com .
