I need to update for a few days... our internet service has been kind of slow haven't been able to get on this site to say hi to you!
Friday morning we got up and around and took the bus to the downtown Plaza in Santa Fe. I was so surprised to see so many adobe type buildings but Bill reminded me we are in New Mexico! The old old buildings and the Plaza is in a square. Lots of Native Americans there peddling their wares! Lots of shops and stores to see. We also walked to the Lorreto Chapel which was gorgeous and amazing! The legend of how it was built was very interesting although we have heard it on the Discovery Channel and Travel channel and others who have been there. I have attached pictures of it and hope this will let me post...
We also walked to the Georgia O'Keefe museum.... now most of you know I am not into "art" and art galleries and neither is Bill ...so he tagged along....it was interesting and she seemed pretty much a "free spirit" for that time period..
After walking around for several hours we took the bus back to the RV park and relaxed for a while. Then we drove down to the Railroad depot area to go to a restaurant called "Thomasitas"...it was very crowded and was very good.... I think I have my "Mexican food" fix for a while!
Saturday morning we mainly hung around the camper so Bill could watch football..... he watched both Ks. teams lose. We went to Walmart and to Linen 'n things as they were closing out.... mostly picked over and not much left ....we left empty handed. Stopping also at the outlet mall and saw many shops closed there too so it was supper time and we stopped at Applebee's for supper.
Bill got to watch MORE football last night and I cut out fabric for a Christmas wreath I am going to start when we get to El Mirage.
We left around 9 this am and drove about 200 miles to Gallup, New Mexico... the day has been gorgeous and no wind at all.... and 75 degrees! Just about perfect!
We are in the USA RV Park in Gallup for the night where we will leave in the morning to go as far as south of Flagstaff... we decided to go short trips this time and not make such long days as we had the time.
So that is about it for now....
until next time!
