We arrived a few days before Katrina hit the Gulf coast. Of course, we were spared the storm and subsequent ravages, but it sure was hot and humid after the storm traveled north. Nothing like that in Santa Fe, and, being unaccustomed, we were pretty much useless. 
Agnes and Boo didn't seem to mind. They were happy with their best new discovery: Squirrels.
We probably arrived on a Wednesday or Thursday, so Saturday Farmers Market wasn't far off. In 2005, it was still on Veterans Place, a block-long street perpendicular to Main Street and adjacent to the Post Office. I understand why they moved the market to the waterfront the following year, where the train dumps tourists off and there's more space and the breeze is a relief on a hot summer's day, but it sure was nice to easily stroll to the market, chat with vendors and neighbors, and then stroll home with fresh bread, cheese and produce. This was our first Beacon Farmers Market lunch. The tomatoes were from Common Ground Farm, a CSA that we joined the next year and where we are still barter share members.
