Santa Fe & Beyond

It's Thursday the 29th, and we are in Santa Fe, at the EconoLodge on Cerrillos Road. We left Albuquerque around 10 this morning and arrived in Santa Fe a little before 11. We spent the afternoon downtown around the Plaza, which is a park with a band shell. On one side of the park is the Palace of Governors, the oldest public building in the US, which now has a museum of Santa Fe history and outside of it are Indian craftspeople and their wares, on the sidewalk. Vendors are all around and in the square, too.

We also toured the Cathedral of St. Francis of Assisi , the mission church of San Miguel--the oldest church in America, dating back to the early 1600's--the state capitol building, and the nation's oldest house in the nation's oldest neighborhood.

Since it's late, I am going to post this and come back perhaps tomorrow and finish it. We are going up to Taos on Friday to spend the day, then drive back to Albuquerque. Friday, May 30, is Leslie's birthday, so we hope it's a great day in Taos.

Until later....
