The
walls
here
are
the
colour
of
dry
clay
.
You
are
in
Santa
Fe
.
It
is
a
city
in
New
Mexico
,
in
the
southwest
of
the
United
States
.
Many
buildings
look
like
adobe
.
Adobe
is
mud
and
straw
,
pressed
into
bricks
and
dried
in
the
sun
.
The
city
has
rules
.
New
buildings
in
the
historic
centre
must
look
this
way
.
Your
room
has
a
wooden
ceiling
beam
.
It
is
called
a
viga
.
It
is
as
wide
as
your
arm
.
The
beam
is
dark
with
age
.
The
floor
is
tiled
.
It
is
cold
under
your
feet
at
sunrise
.
Outside
,
there
is
a
small
courtyard
.
It
holds
one
terracotta
pot
.
A
mid
-
range
adobe
hotel
in
the
historic
district
costs
around
$
150
to
$
250
a
night
.
That
price
is
for
shoulder
season
,
in
spring
or
autumn
.
In
the
afternoon
,
you
sit
still
.
The
thick
walls
hold
the
cool
of
the
morning
.
Outside
,
the
light
changes
slowly
.
The
pale
tan
walls
turn
deep
amber
.
The
earth
seems
to
glow
.
You
watch
the
colour
shift
,
slow
as
a
tide
.
