From 1814 to 1846, Santa Fe became a part of Mexico. During the Mexican-American War, Santa Fe became a part of the United States. Today, Santa Fe is the capital of New Mexico and is a popular tourist destination.

 Breezing through with more ratings for a terrific page. I missed so much in Santa Fe. Guess it means another trip, huh?

 "Santa Fe, dear dear dear Santa Fe..."...great prophet Bob Dylan made a song about this city. I hope I can visit there one day.

 Very nice Santa Fe page, Joe! Looks like you hit up all the major attractions--I was only here briefly last fall. I really do like NM, though...
