Yesterday, my wife and I attended the 2nd annual Santa Fe Renaissance Fair at El Rancho de las Golondrinas living history museum. It’s a pretty small event as these sorts of things go, and I really wasn’t expecting much: a handful of merchants and some bedraggled, overworked SCA enthusiasts. But once inside, I was impressed with the merchants, games, food, drink (including local mead), and entertainment. I look forward to next year’s event.
