Hi Safranim, I am pleased to report that the Road Scholar trip I coordinated with a group of 24 librarians, book group members, and spouses, was fabulous-- and I have decided to form another group next fall for all those who had contacted me that they would have come, but...Covid.
We just returned, and we all enjoyed the lectures, museums, shops, restaurants and beauty of the Santa Fe and Taos area, and the weather was wonderful. There were no Covid-related issues and the trip, which was run by Road Scholar was very well organized. The subject of the trip is "Learning About the Crypto-Jews and Conversos of New Mexico". Our lectures were excellent and we learned so much. We even held a book group after reading the novel, Gateway to the Moon, by Mary Morris. If you are interested in coming next year, the dates are OCTOBER 23 - 28, 2022. The website for more information is: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.roadscholar.org/find-an-adventure/22854/new-mexico-s-conversos-and-crypto-jews-in-santa-fe__;!!KGKeukY!nPbTsI_NnERxKPqHqNZXNJ3_SkhDjf9pU2NWhY0m-vxJgWE48AqS7SWMfwaFQt88j93lpxlKkDy9EjA$ We are accepting 21 people only on this private group and the fee to reserve a spot is $100, which is refundable up to a certain date. But once it sells out, we will create a waiting list. Please email me if you want to be on my list for information, etc, as I create a new group. Here's a photo of myself and librarian Annette Goldsmith at the museum in Santa Fe taken by Annette's husband, Don.
