I lived in Santa Fe for six years and when I left, in 2015, to come back to CA, it seemed like many shops were closing and it was getting really quiet around town. Seems like it's still quiet there. I used to drive a taxi there for about a year and it was a great way to see the city on someone else's dime. I lived in the oldest home in the neighborhood, close to town, and would ride my bike everywhere. I miss my little casita and unique beauty there.
Before I retired from 38 years of trucking in 2015 I always LOVED going through New Mexico! Especially, traveling north of Albuquerque, on Highway 550, northwest up towards Farmington! Just simply breath taking! One of the perks for a truck driver in New Mexico is the abundance of indian casinos for parking, as, a lot of the casinos have truck stops attached as well! And, speaking of Mexican food, well, I could eat that stuff seven days a week! I think I'm just one of few Mexican Caucasians in Texas! LOL! Thanks, Robert, for taking me down memory lane once again! Travel safe, stay happy, and, God Bless! Hasta la vista! (5/9/2018 Wednesday 2:53pmCST Houston, Tx)

I have become addicted to your engaging travel videos! I would recommend visiting Santa Fe during the late summer when it is at its most beautiful and lively.
Nice scenery, and all that beautiful NM sunshine. It is the highest capital in the US at7000'+, so not surprising to see the snow in Spring. I would miss the water living here, but quite a prettybplace!
The US government should give you a grant because you are do so much for the US tourist industry. I didn't realise Sante Fe was so attractive. Albuquerque will be fun as long as you don't start Breaking Bad…
4uFriday car theft capital of the USA, lots of theft, many murders bro. APD also are an extremely aggressive police department. They were investigated by the Feds a few years ago for over 20 killings of innocent, unarmed citizens in less than 2 years. Look it up online; yes I live in ABQ. A couple of positives: botanical garden and zoom are nice as well as the art museum which is right next to old town.
I love New Mexico. I move away and always come back to my home state. The Land of Enchantment. La Tierra del Encanto . Most people say the Land of Entrapment. But the beauty and traditions is what always brings me back. Love your videos Mr. Robert.
Yes, wonderful video. I've recently been being called back to Santa Fe and taos. I'm planning to stay for a long long time. So, cool, can't wait for this trip to start.
Chimayo, about 35 minutes from Santa Fe, nice place to visit and scenery beautiful on the way. Very, very old. Was in Santa Fe Feb. 2018. I asked the hotel clerk, that if I had only one day to be in Santa Fe, what would be recommended. Answer - Chimayo. Was not disappointed.
Thank you for presenting such a beautiful city of Santa Fe. Especially the Cathedral of St. Francis. it was a true delight. So beautiful and touching. You do a lot for tourisms and bringing historical sites in your travels. You are absolutely wonderful. Many thanks
I watched this quite a while back and kept meaning to leave a comment, but as I strayed from task to task and day to day, I never got back to it. So, I felt compelled to re-watch and leave a word or two (or three or four or…). This video turned out really well. The quiet sunlit streets in the early morning hours actually provide a more intimate and artistic approach to portraying Santa Fe onscreen. A place like this can easily straddle the line between the touristy and the authentic, especially when there are too many wandering bodies in the viewfinder to blur that line. So although it wasn’t as lively as you’d hoped, for the episode’s sake, the outcome was very successful. There is such a lovely connection here between the choice of music and each scene, and when there are moments without the music, the pause is perfectly placed and keeps the attention span in check. That’s a smooth move. I loved this little tour of New Mexico’s capital city, where the historic southwest architecture, including the cathedrals, could never be boring, as well as the sights and sounds of the streets… who doesn’t love a good mariachi song? I can actually play that one! Good times. Sorry about the closed road at the end of the episode, Tent Rocks looked like it would’ve been worthy of your talents. The best work is produced through the greatest challenges, and I will look forward to the beautiful horizons you will undoubtedly show us during your current circumstances. Thank you! Well. This was more than a word or two, wasn’t it. 🤔
I was shocked at how empty Santa Fe was when you were there. We went in October two years ago and it was full of people everywhere! Probably because of the balloon fiesta. We tried to get a table at The Shed but it was a two hour wait and you got right in! We probably spent at least two hours or more on Canyon Road. So much art and sculpture to look at. So sorry you missed The Tents. The walk through there was awesome. Put it on your list for next time.
I plan to go back next year so, lots of new things on the list. Maybe I'll go a little later in the year, might be more lively, and the tent rocks will be open.
I’ll keep that in mind. Looking to do a weekend trip Albuquerque and Santa Fe. I know a couple great places in ABQ to eat but I ve never been to Santa Fe
You were so close to Bandelier National Monument when you took your epic fail drive, it is a shame you missed it. Good and entertaining videos Mister TR.
La Bikina one of my favs too. it got popularized by Paul Mauriat in Europe and South America in the 70s and i never knew it was Mexican 'til 3 weeks ago when i watched Luis Miguel singing it. Great vid can't wait to go to there and visit all those Churches. Thank you for posting.
Los Alamos has a free museum that explains the Manhattan Project showing the 3 bombs. It's the Bradbury Science Museum. It has short films and hands-on exhibits too. Just 30 minutes away is Bandelier National Monument. It has short, self-guided trails to the cliff dwellings. You can even climb ladders and go into their homes. Maybe another trip in that area for sure.
I found your videos about a week ago and I'm going to be honest, at first I was on the fence but somehow I have become addicted to them! Great videos! I'm from the northern Midwest and am using your videos to help me do some planning for when my wife and I can get away for a week or at least a long weekend.
I love the looks of the buildings, I Have two friends that retired in Mexico and just love it . This is a good alternative for those that want to stay state side.
My wife and I love your videos & music. Ordered CD, t-shirts & sticker. We will be passing thru there in 2 weeks on our way to Phoenix. Keep up the great work. Being a video/photographer, I know how much work it is to produce these videos.
I really enjoyed watching Santa Fe along with you. I love an hr 30 minutes South from there. I haven’t explored all of Santa Fe. You encourage me to get out and explore.
Having hiked Mt St Helen (several times) Elevation now at 8400 ft. The mountain does not have tree above 6000 feet. At 6000 feet the trees are like 2 inches in diameter and 39 years old. Go take the trail to the top. (I never filmed it and would love to see the trip of hiking through the huge 10 foot boulders) which everyone should do. Thanks for all you have put out there.
I like El Meson. It's on Lincoln. Pricey but holy moly!! It's unbelievable. If you stay away from the chains the food is unbelievable. I rarely if ever go to a chain. I like supporting the locals.
Great video! I love your attention to not just the sights, but the sounds as well, and the footage as you drive. You have a unique talent to make the viewer really feel like we are traveling along with you. Who among us has not driven with great anticipation only to find our destination closed. I call that 'punching the moose'...from Chevy chase in Vacation when wally world was closed.
First time, i watched more 3hr video from Robert , from there, i have been watching all his videos, even my english is not good. Knowing USA from his video a lot. Great work Mr Robert!!!!
I was there a couple weeks after you, we enjoyed they sights also. But this is where I discovered the infection in my toe and had to hurriedly leave for Denver and the VA hospital where they tried to save the toe, but eventually I lost it, it's better than losing the entire foot (diabetic). Going to give it a go this fall. Wee did pick up a few hints on where to go that we missed.
first of all....thanks for the intro song....I find myself singing it all the time now.....it's soooo catchy...second.. I've been to Santa Fe twice and loved revisiting it!!
I enjoy watching your travel videos greatly. There's so much I've learned from your adventurous visits to many US states. I wish I had the time and money to do just the same. Regards from your new fan in Malaysia
Wow, Malaysia!?? Very Cool, I'd love to check it out. Here's a tune I wrote and the video features the rail runner which is a train that runs from Albuquerque to Santa Fe daily. ua-cam.com/video/EaANr0o18u4/v-deo.html
You should go back during the Balloon festival, the camping right next to the airfield is great as you don't have to mess with traffic and just walk across the street to the daily/nightly events. I bet there are over 300 campers in there so hanging out with other camper types is just as much fun.
When we visited Santa Fe it was pretty quiet in the morning, too but then livened up mid-morning. Would like to return to see more. Didn’t get to do much last year when we went through Taos. Couldn’t find a working parking meter (gave up after 3 times of meters taking our money and not working) so went on to Taos Pueblo and had an enjoyable visit there...also a dog friendly place. Hope to give Taos another try on a future trip.
Wait a minute I was there about same time. There eis awesome motel there. All my ancestors from Santa Fe then they branched out. There is a nice consignment shop near the square. Plus my dear old cousin may passed by now name Georgia. She should be late 80s. The Spanish with the older people who always been there is more Castilian. Hope you heard old people the originals speak around you. I miss the red and green chilli. Nothing in the USA has best chilli. I mean mild sause.
Robert , i really enjoy your road trips , it reminds me of my road warrior trips , but without the RV , i drove to maine bar harbor , acadia all the way to keywest and the florida west coast , plus to Toronto many times, and las vegas thru arizona utah and the pacific coastal highway from san fran to san diego and back to vegas , great memories , now i want to do it again with a camper van , thanks to your videos , its my most feeling free on long road trips , adventure , explore .
We were there two years ago and it was very buisy. My brother in law lives in Albuquerque and his mother in law had a boutique there in Sante Fe. I cannot wait to go back. It is strange seeing the streets a empty. I was able to get my ashes at the Cathedral as it was Ash Wednesday. Given a choice I would move out there. We went to the oldest house also. I really enjoyed your video.
Next time you are there, head north to Tesuque. On the way you will pass Bishop's Lodge. It's a high-end spa now, but it used to be the retirement area of Bishop Lamy who founded the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. In Tesuque, you can find Shidoni, a bronze foundry with two football field-sized outdoor exhibits of their work. SO many other sites to see. Far to many to list. I hope that when you passed through the Jemez Pueblo you stopped for some fry bread from one of the road-side stands. Great people and a wonderful snack!
Jane Martin, we do live in such a Great country! Here's my music video that features the rail runner train that runs between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Long live the USA! ua-cam.com/video/EaANr0o18u4/v-deo.html
This video brought back so many great memories Robert! The first time I ever went to the USA it was to visit my friend who lived in Albuquerque, well actually at the time he was living in Los Alamos! And I found that place so fascinating!! And we went to Santa Fe too, which was really interesting. Too bad you didn't make it to Tent Rocks or Taos. Next time!!
@@TravelingRobert May I suggest you go to Tent Rocks via the Cochiti exit off of I-25. The roads are much better maintained and they will not be closed as Tent Rocks is now a National Monument (Kasha Katuwe). That mountain road you turned down is probably not well maintained. Tent Rocks is definitely worth seeing!
Planning to spend time in NM this next year. I enjoy your vids and stories. That was an Argosy motorhome not a GMC. I used to have a GMC and they are easily confused. Great editing work!
You drove by one of my favorite campgrounds. Paliza Family Campground. Quiet and Cool during the summer. Just above Jemez. No services but a great area to do some exploring in the mountains. Next time your in SF.
Shindoni art foundry is just north of Santa Fe amazing art and artists! Please visit, beautiful statues. Also I am unsure of the spelling. Nambé ware is also
After my ex and I decided to move to to Taos, (we were still living in California), we would go to the Shed and order enchiladas to get our taste buds acclimated to New Mexican food. Yes, that is probably the spiciest food you ever ate!
Robert there is a really great, and somewhat famous, place to eat in Bernalillo called "The Range". Also, about 100 miles north of there there is a very historic and picturesque town called Las Vegas. Many movies shot there like "Red Dawn". The recent Netflix series called Longmeyer uses the town square for the main set.
I lived in Santa Fe for six years and when I left, in 2015, to come back to CA, it seemed like many shops were closing and it was getting really quiet around town. Seems like it's still quiet there. I used to drive a taxi there for about a year and it was a great way to see the city on someone else's dime.

I will really enjoy the Breaking Bad tour ☺. As long as it doesn't give you ideas of Breaking Bad yourself and becoming a meth cook ☺.

You’re a fantastic narrator and great music choices too! I’ll be in Santa Fe/Taos/Abq in less than a month, so watching these NM very attentively.

Have you ever taken the high road to Taos from Santa FE? Talk about breathtaking scenery!!
Thank you Robert ! I would never get out of town , if i didnt follow you in your RV. ☺ Be safe !

I’ll keep that in mind. Looking to do a weekend trip Albuquerque and Santa Fe. I know a couple great places in ABQ to eat but I ve never been to Santa Fe
I love Santa Fe, Los Alamos and Ruidoso. Considering moving to NM to step outside "the norm" and do something different.
I love that area too
Cameron Felton Im moving to Albuquerque 😊
Do it! Message me if you need information. I love SF and NM and will share what I know.
You were so close to Bandelier National Monument when you took your epic fail drive, it is a shame you missed it. Good and entertaining videos Mister TR.
I definitely must come back to the area. It deserved way more than just one day.

Thanx man. You really capture the vibe and atmosphere. I really like this and your Albuquerque one.
It's touristy during the Summer and during the holidays. Any other time of year is pretty inactive.
Not sure what time you were but alor of the shops don't open until 10:00 am

Santa Fe is a beautiful and unique city. It is indeed strange it is so quiet. I enjoy visiting there, and lots of culture.
Santaa Fe is at 7,000 feet elevation and is COLD in the winter. It is very quiet November to March. Packed in the summer!!
I really enjoyed watching Santa Fe along with you. I love an hr 30 minutes South from there. I haven’t explored all of Santa Fe. You encourage me to get out and explore.
Really cool city. Thanks!
I know! I cannot believe how varied it is.
Santa Fe is so beautiful! When we visited ABQ a couple years ago, we went through the Turquoise trail to get to SF. Nothing like it!
Thank you, maybe next time I will do that
Must be familiar with NM to use ABQ lol 😅
Having hiked Mt St Helen (several times) Elevation now at 8400 ft. The mountain does not have tree above 6000 feet. At 6000 feet the trees are like 2 inches in diameter and 39 years old.

Photobomber@7:41. LOL. Too bad about the gate closure towards the roads. Looks like something that I would want to see. Thanks for the video!!
I’m with you, I’d be up early in the morning exploring!
early mornings are quiet, people sleep in.You also appear to be there on a cold day. Things open late. The Shed is my favorite restaurant of all time.
I like El Meson. It's on Lincoln. Pricey but holy moly!! It's unbelievable. If you stay away from the chains the food is unbelievable. I rarely if ever go to a chain. I like supporting the locals.
Your video is perfect and your voice is so soothing thank you

You have a unique talent to make the viewer really feel like we are traveling along with you. Who among us has not driven with great anticipation only to find our destination closed.

Robert thank you for the superb narration and, of course, the great video of Santa Fe.
Thank you!
Thanks for the video Robert!! Meant to catch up with you at GNR!
Tent Rocks is a 15 minute drive off I25. You get to see Cochiti Lake and the Tribal Buffalo herd on the way there. Not as scenic, but open year round.
The more you know.... I'll check them out next year when I return
Very cool Robert..Santa Fe is such a cool town ! Been many years since I visited..watching your video makes me want to return ;-)

Santa fe new Mexico i live here that my home 😃
I did not know New Mexico had freezing water. I really thought it was a deserty place where it's always warm! The more you know :)
In the winter it does get really cold at night in the desert, even more at higher altitudes
Bozzy Plays! Actually, New Mexico can get pretty cold
You should really visit nm we are much more than desert.That being said even our deserts are 4000 feet above sea level so bring your oxygen lol!
no... It actually snows every year. 75% of NM is forested so while there is desert there is so much more.
You probably thought it was a foreign country. " YOUR PAPERS PLEASE!!!
Next time you are there, head north to Tesuque. On the way you will pass Bishop's Lodge. It's a high-end spa now, but it used to be the retirement area of Bishop Lamy who founded the Archdiocese of Santa Fe.

Jane Martin, we do live in such a Great country! Here's my music video that features the rail runner train that runs between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Long live the USA! ua-cam.com/video/EaANr0o18u4/v-deo.html
Go to Los Alamos and the Bradbury Museum, so much to do, the Bandelier monument, cliff dwellings and kiva , museum and more. Wish I was with you!
Thank Robert, l love your videos.
You're welcome
I thought you would've known....some parts close to Mexico they take a siesta for a few hours, then open back up later in the day.
love your accent!
Thank you
@@TravelingRobert cuidado jefe para que le diga eso un vato jajaja 🤣🤣🤣 saludos great video 👍
A very nice video.
You should see Christmas in SF. It's the best
Walking up Canyon Road at Christmas time is the prettiest thing ever!!
Best Show.
Thanks!
Downtown Santa is pretty cool.
Miraculous staircase? Hardly!
At one time it didn't have a handrail either! It was a master craftsman that built the staircase.
Robert saludos tremendo video,siempre que puedas pones el precio de la gasolina y el clima...ahh y cuando haces el café cubano...☕️
This video brought back so many great memories Robert! The first time I ever went to the USA it was to visit my friend who lived in Albuquerque, well actually at the time he was living in Los Alamos! And I found that place so fascinating!! And we went to Santa Fe too, which was really interesting. Too bad you didn't make it to Tent Rocks or Taos. Next time!!
Next time for sure
@@TravelingRobert May I suggest you go to Tent Rocks via the Cochiti exit off of I-25. The roads are much better maintained and they will not be closed as Tent Rocks is now a National Monument (Kasha Katuwe). That mountain road you turned down is probably not well maintained. Tent Rocks is definitely worth seeing!
@@itsme-rt7nz Thank you. I think I'm going to wait until spring or summer to do tent rocks.
We’re late sleepers here in New Mexico. Nothing opens until 10!
Excellent movie!
Thank you!
Amazed by the staircase
there are no nails in it either. It's incredible and a marvel
Planning to spend time in NM this next year. I enjoy your vids and stories. That was an Argosy motorhome not a GMC. I used to have a GMC and they are easily confused. Great editing work!
Thanks!
be nice hoping to as yet, Finally got to retire June 4 and we hope to leave mid month. We do have reservations for the balloon fiesta in Albuquerque.
Thank you
wow
You drove by one of my favorite campgrounds. Paliza Family Campground. Quiet and Cool during the summer. Just above Jemez. No services but a great area to do some exploring in the mountains. Next time your in SF.
Cool, maybe I'll check it out next time I'm in the area
Hey Robert the film billy Jack was filmed partially in Santa Fe and the square you were in with little park in middle had a major scene there
Spanish people all been there since late 1509s. My neighbor has one book of family from Spain .
That was awesome video.
Magic and delusion in The Land Of Enchament---Grew up here-------
Or some say the Land of Entrapement...LOL
I DRANK WATER FROM THAT FOUNTAIN THAT YOU WALKED BY @SANTA FE PLAZA, WAS ON A FIELD TRIP
THANKS AMIGO I HAVE LEARNED ALOT FROM YOU THE G.O.A,T. OF THE LIFE OF THE WORLD
Shindoni art foundry is just north of Santa Fe amazing art and artists! Please visit, beautiful statues. Also I am unsure of the spelling. Nambé ware is also
After my ex and I decided to move to to Taos, (we were still living in California), we would go to the Shed and order enchiladas to get our taste buds acclimated to New Mexican food. Yes, that is probably the spiciest food you ever ate!
Really enjoyed it Robert. Tks.
You're welcome
I've been there in the fall. I had no idea spring was so slow to come to Santa Fe!
Actually I was there in February, that's probably why
Ha! No wonder.
it's actually not. Spring is gorgeous in SF
You should have stopped by and said hello!!
Next year :-)
Robert there is a really great, and somewhat famous, place to eat in Bernalillo called "The Range". Also, about 100 miles north of there there is a very historic and picturesque town called Las Vegas. Many movies shot there like "Red Dawn". The recent Netflix series called Longmeyer uses the town square for the main set.
Born and raised in Las Vegas!
