The episode began with a view of San Francisco Street
leading up to the spiritual center of Santa Fe, the Cathedral Basilica of St.
Francis of Assisi. It was dusk and the lighting was beautiful. This was the
real Santa Fe. On that street is historic La Fonda. That is where more drama
and the rose ceremony took place.
The women gathered in the ballroom, a majestic room lighted
with six immense hand made chandeliers with traditional New Mexican tinwork. The decorations
were typical of Santa Fe, featuring hand woven Navajo and Mexican Zapotec
weavings. Outside on the adjoining terrace, we caught a glimpse of the
beautiful tiled fountain and the view of the cathedral.
The beauty of Santa Fe was shattered by Kelsey who was lying
on the terra cotta floor, writhing in emotional pain. What was termed a panic
attack was quickly resolved when The Bachelor, Chris, responded to her request
to see him.
What followed was a beautiful ceremony on the terrace at La
Fonda. What we did see of Santa Fe Monday night was real. It is a beautiful,
historic town with narrow winding streets, lovingly cared for adobe buildings
and luxury hotels such as La Fonda where you can stay right in the middle of
all that beauty and history.
It can’t get any more romantic than that!
